Songs Featuring “dither”

Time: 1:14

A barricade, the myth I made, the wolves at bay
I know that history fades and sympathy dithers away
The City's Son living under my thumb

Time: 0:24

And not my cup of tea;
Why do I get in a dither?
He doesn't belong to me!

Time: 0:30

And not my cup of tea
Why do I get in a dither?
He doesn't belong to me

Time: 1:39

(repeat chorus)
so sue the shoe is slipping you don't dither from behind
may the moke our 7th bloke is peeking out the blinds

Time: 0:47

Self from this an unfriendly affair
So without more to do than say dither
Suzi went over the hill and back again

Time: 2:03

Buying the rawest deal
Dither, by dutyful
Apologish... ooh

Time: 2:35

Shrines in-between
If I dither when I'm lost I ain't in a dream
Just I don't really give a fuck

Time: 1:27

I have found me a wonderful guy
I am in a conventional dither
With a conventional star in my eye

Time: 0:22

When you and your magic pass by
My heart's in a dither dear
When you're at a distance
