Boo Hewerdine - Roundabout Lyrics

Riding on a roundabout
Clouds above me spin like pin wheels in a summer breeze
All I am is here right now
I'm a wish I made out loud
Riding on a roundabout

Funny how the way things change
Funny how from day to day, it always looks the same
Never mind, it's what we find
Round so fast it makes you blind
Riding on a roundabout

Life is not a game
And you said "Life is not a game"

Never seem to get ahead
Can't remember what was said
When we were back at school
While others learned, my candles burned
Too much to do, my head was turned
Riding on a roundabout

Life is not a game

Tell you what I've got in mind
Waiting for the sun to shine
A day without a care
Forget the time, perhaps I'll find
Find the boy I left behind
Riding on a roundabout
Riding on a roundabout
