SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS
Written by Tim Marcus Arnold

We're up and down and round and round
We're over here and over there
I can't control the rigmarole, it's something
We must try to bear
I don't mind what you do without me
Just don't come home hypnotised
If you hurt me in a dream you'd
Better wake up and apologise
We've got this much
Let's stay in touch
It's swings and roundabouts for us

I'm talking to you every day but
I won't see you in the day
It's hard to keep up because no-one
Speaks the same language anyway
You've got to do your homework
Yes you've got to spend some
Time on it, but we keep playing
Truant with each other it's that
One minute we waste
That spoils our case
It's swings and roundabouts

When we're not in the heavens
We're at sixes and sevens
When we're flat on the ground
We just keep on swinging around
Swings and roundabouts for us swings and roundabouts

We're up and down and round and round
We're over here and over there
I can't control the rigmarole, it's something
We must try to bear
I don't mind what you do without me
Just don't come home hypnotised
If you hurt me in a dream you'd
Better wake up and apologise
We've got this much
Let's stay in touch
It's swings and roundabouts for us

I'm talking to you every day but
I won't see you in the day
It's hard to keep up because no-one
Speaks the same language anyway
You've got to do your homework
Yes you've got to spend some
Time on it, but we keep playing
Truant with each other it's that
One minute we waste
That spoils our case
It's swings and roundabouts

When we're not in the heavens
We're at sixes and sevens
When we're flat on the ground
We just keep on swinging around
Swings and roundabouts for us
