Roundabouts And Swings
What you lose on the swings
You gain on the roundabouts
Right here right now
You treasure the ride
Cos cometh the hour
The fat lady sings
You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings
You lost you a dollar bill
But you got a buck for your bang
Trust that you never will
Know your Ying from your Yang
You got the devil on your left hand
You got God on your right
Oh what a glorious fight
What you lose on the swings
You gain on the roundabouts
Right here right now
You treasure the ride
Cos cometh the hour
The fat lady sings
You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings
It’s two dozen steps forward
And twenty four back
You’re stuck on the wrong train
But you’re on the right track
You’ve got a mountain in front of you
But a fair wind behind
And it’s blowing your mind
What you lose on the swings
You gain on the roundabouts
Right here right now
You treasure the ride
Cos cometh the hour
The fat lady sings
You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings
