Spill the Wine Lyrics by Michael Hutchence

Barb Wire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1996

I was once out strolling
One very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun
And felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie, yes I did
And that I was the star of the movie...Hmmm...
This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed long-haired, leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie
But there I was
I was taken to a place:
The Hall of the Mountain King
I stood high up on a mountaintop
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl (bueno, dime, que pasa)
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones
Crazy ones
Out of the middle
Came a lady [Indistinct Spanish]
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy [Indistinct Spanish]
She said:
Spill the wine, dig that girl
Spill the wine, take that pearl, come on
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, dig that girl
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared
But soon she returned [Indistinct Spanish]
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips [Indistinct Spanish]
And just before she drunk it
She said:
Spill the wine and take that pearl, come on
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, take that pearl, come on
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine and take that girl, ha
Spill the wine, spill, spill spill spill spill the wine, come on
Spill the wine, baby! Ow! Check! Uh!
Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, mmm yeah
Spill the wine, spill the wine, hey, mmm, girl, mmm, girl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and nobody knows
Hey! Help! Help! Help! Help!
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, ow!
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, uh
Take take take take take take...Ow!
Ah ah ah ah hey hey yeah yeah that's right, take that pearl
Hey huh, gotta tell ya, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Ugh! That's the right! Spill! Spill it, baby!
Woo woo woo woo woo woo b-r-lacch! Huh huh uh
Spill the wine and take that girl
She used to be my baby, she whispered in my ear
Spill the wine and take that girl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine...Spill the wine...Spill the wine...
