about

in 1996 London, Ontario based Spool were able to record two tracks in a session at Toronto's infamous Manta Eastern Sound Studio. Recorded live off the floor in one of the large rooms (where many Canadian juggernauts like Rush made records) , the band stuck to its intimate, direct style. “Fly Fly”, recorded in one take, is a six beat stomp carried by a bright Rickenbacker bass..

This previously unreleased two song gem of a single is receiving a long awaited digital release by Toronto indie label (weewerk).

lyrics

Spool
Fly Fly

Working, working, working for you,
Empty from all the work that she do,
Digging this pit, this hole, then she's through,
The Fly grabbed the wind, grabbed the wind, then she flew

She is such a defensive wife,
An eggshell cracking, that's her life,
With him to the grave she'll go,
The loyal slave who cannot know,
Spider's the only one who knows

She cuts and bleeds, She's such a saint,
She covers the markings with white paint,
She never drains and she never faints,
She watches the Fly on the windowpane,
Fly grabbed the wind until she flew

Fly Fly

He is such a lucky son,
Kisses his car and then he runs,
Hits the wall and breaks his thumb,
He is two and Spider's one,
He knows a hole but he can't escape,
He's lazy and his stomach aches,
Here he hates, but here he's fed,
Spider gives him butter and a bed,
Fly grabbed the wind until he flew
Fly grabbed the wind until he flew..

Fly Fly

Fly grabbed the wind until she flew
Fly Fly
Fly grabbed the wind until she flew
Fly Fly
Fly grabbed the wind until she flew
Fly Fly
Fly grabbed the wind until she flew

Spool (1992) image

Spool (1992) London, Ontario

Spool formed in London Ontario in 1992.
They were known for their colourful, noisy sound, that would push and pull, feeling like it might implode, then regaining cohesion in a whirlwind of sound and playful hooks.
They had a few line up changes and this single represents the final up of Ian Newton, Greg Newton, Joel Pylyshyn and Clayton Corneil. ... more
