Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

'course I ain't got cows an' I'm over 6 foot

Re: Lyrics?
I spent the last Irish Fair in wellies because of the rain and mud. I had welly marks for a week. And I was told a story about a couple of gents coming to a gig underdressed and one said to the other "Pull up your socks and cover your wellie marks." Seems to be a metafore for dressing less than fashionable.
