    "Sumita has this playful, child-like sound in her vocal...this song ['Money Tree Spider'] is a beaut, quirky and fresh...I don't think there is anyone like this in the music industry right now!" ~ Polly James (Absolute Radio Presenter), November 2012

lyrics

She’s sat on a sew-er, sewing her dreams
She’s sad on a singer, a singing machine
She’s starting to grow up, spilling the seeds
She’s sad you don’t know that she’s sowing the seams

Invisible thread forming a web,
Tying the thoughts that are trapped round her head,
She’d rather forget, forget what the others said;
Memories of coal lay in her soul while she grows old
Happiness sold for silver and gold

Metal for fools, shrapnel and jewels,
Diamonds of stone, rubies of bone,
Fool’s gold, fool’s silver, fool’s sold;
Where her love goes, she never knows,
Ribbons and bows keep her together
Like old friends when secrets don’t stay untold
Fool’s gold, fool’s silver, fools sold

She hides in a cellar, a cellar unseen
Where she sits at her sew-er, sewing her dreams
Tainted hands cannot reach her, they can’t weave in-between
She’s safe by her singer, her singing machine

Invisible thread forming a web,
Tying the thoughts that are trapped round her head,
She’d rather forget, forget what the others said;
Memories of coal lay in her soul while she grows old
Happiness sold for silver and gold

Metal for fools, shrapnel and jewels,
Diamonds of stone, rubies of bone,
Fool’s gold, fool’s silver, fool’s sold;
Where her love goes, she never knows,
Ribbons and bows keep her together
Like old friends when secrets don’t stay untold

Metal for fools, shrapnel and jewels,
Diamonds of stone, rubies of bone,
Fool’s gold, fool’s silver, fool’s sold;
Where her love goes, she never knows,
Ribbons and bows keep her together
Like old friends when secrets don’t stay untold

Fool’s gold, fool’s silver, fools sold
Fool’s gold fool’s silver, fools sold
