00:00I'm aboard my roundabout, I'm aboard my roundabout
00:11I am a fairground man at heart, I run around the boundless path
00:16I've built this fair but custom have I not
00:20I turn the paddle round so fast it makes my elbow ache
00:25Nobody seems to care
00:29No one rides upon my roundabout no longer anymore
00:34Oh what a horrid fare
00:40I'm aboard my roundabout, I'm aboard my roundabout
00:50Money there is none, I'm thinner than a Skellington
00:56But wait a minute, I'm so thin that only sex and wigs could be a chance for me
01:06I could be a hotter or a ghost in a ghost train, I think I'll go on she
01:15I meet the man who owns the ghost train, he says you're just great
01:20I'll pay you top class wages if you'll just hang from this gate
01:25A year is passing, lots of food and money come my way, oh lucky man am I
01:35But who's this telling me you're far too much too fat to be a ghost beyond your way
01:42So here I am
01:44I'm aboard my roundabout, I'm aboard my roundabout
02:14Roundabout
02:44Roundabout
02:59She had a birthday yesterday, she cried
03:07Took off her glasses, let her hair down, cried
03:15She told them all at work about the day
03:25How is it no one came?
03:29Whoa, whoa, whoa
03:42She sent the invitations to her friends
03:50They were too busy doing other things
03:59She told them all at work about the day
04:08How is it no one came?
04:13Whoa, whoa, whoa
04:17Whoa, whoa, whoa
04:27She took the decorations from the wall
04:35Was it the ladder loose that made her fall?
04:42She told them all at work about the day
04:51How is it no one came?
04:55Whoa, whoa, whoa
05:02She had a birthday yesterday, she cried
05:08She cried
05:19Whoa, whoa, whoa
05:27Whoa, whoa, whoa
05:34Whoa, whoa, whoa
05:39Whoa, whoa, whoa
05:53I have a train set and a garage full of cars
05:56And a soldier with a gun
06:00My mother says I should have more responsibility
06:04As I'm nearly thirty-one
06:08I have a plane, I have a crane
06:12That can lift up all my trains and all my cars
06:16I have a boat that doesn't float
06:20But a big machine that takes me to the stars
06:24But my mother says I should get a job
06:28Or my father, she will tell
06:32She says sixteen years is a long enough rest
06:36Though I say that I'm not well
06:41I have a train set and a garage full of cars
06:44And a soldier with a gun
06:48My mother says she'll break up all my toys and all my games
06:52And she'll say I'm not her son
07:02Whoa, whoa, whoa
07:13But your mother says you should get a job
07:17Or your father, she will tell
07:21She says sixteen years is a long enough rest
07:25Though you say that you're not well
07:28I had a plane, I had a crane
07:32That could lift up all my trains and all my cars
07:36I had a boat that couldn't float
07:40So my machine and me are going to the stars
07:59Wait till the morning sun shines
08:04Wait till the morning sun shines
08:10Feels like another day
08:14I wouldn't know
08:16My love's away
08:18From home today
08:23Wait till the morning sun shines
08:27Wait till the morning sun shines
08:31Wait till the morning sun shines
08:37It's just the memory
08:40Of sunshine
08:42In the morning
08:44Being close to me
08:47And it was
08:53Ah, ah, ah
09:15Wait till the morning sun shines
09:19Wait till the morning sun shines
09:25Seems like the world is late
09:28For I can't wait
09:30For sunshine
09:32In the morning
09:38Wait till the morning sun shines
09:41Wait till the morning sun shines
10:11See how they go
10:14On the wings of a shiny bird
10:19The reason for their leaving
10:23Is not to stay
10:29Follow me, follow
10:34Follow me to my plane
10:38Follow me, follow
10:42Where you will go
10:46See how they go
10:49On the wings of a shiny bird
10:54And they'll all be back together
10:58And I won't be
11:02See how they try
11:06To be happy when they leave
11:10And all the protection
11:13Of the shiny bird
11:16Now
11:21Follow me, follow
11:25Follow me to my plane
11:30Follow me, follow
11:34Where you will go
11:37See how they go
11:41On the wings of a shiny bird
11:46And the reason for their leaving
11:50Is not to stay
11:54Follow me, follow
11:58Follow me to my plane
12:02Follow me, follow
12:06Where you will go
12:10Follow me, follow
12:14Follow me to my plane
12:19Follow me, follow
12:23Follow me, follow
12:27Where you will go
12:44I often sit alone up in a tree
12:49Waving to the ones that wave at me
12:53I think, well, just how stupid can they be
12:57Waving to a man up in a tree
13:01What they don't know is I am counting them
13:05I even count the ladies and the men
13:10I put the numbers in my little book
13:14And only me can ever have a look
13:18All I ask is a peace of mind
13:22Which I lost somewhere down amongst the mess
13:26All I want is for people to be kind
13:30And walk slower to be counted when they pass
13:43I think, well, just how stupid can they be
13:47Waving to a man up in a tree
13:51I know that I will have to stop my fun
13:55When I meet a girl who I cannot count on
13:59Maybe marry her and happy we would be
14:04Not counting but just sitting up a tree
14:08I put the numbers in my little book
14:12And only me can ever have a look
14:17I think, well, just how stupid can they be
14:21Waving to a man up in a tree
14:46I think, well, just how stupid can they be
15:08Sun is setting for me, I'll be on my way
15:16I'll be rolling along cos I need to feel alright
15:23From the evening till the early light
15:28Nowhere to go but it's on with the show
15:40Wonder down any lane, I'll be strolling too
15:47I'll do a brave show for you, don't you know I
15:52Feel alright
15:55From the evening till the early light
15:59Nowhere to go but it's on with the show
16:16I'll do a brave show for you, don't you know I
16:21Feel alright

17:11I've lost the key to my front door
17:15I can't get in there anymore, oh my
17:19I've lost the key to my love's heart
17:23It's down the train and in the dark, oh my
17:31I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
17:41As I was riding home from work
17:46I saw another steal a shirt, oh my
17:50I shouted, will you help?
17:53The policeman looked before disturbing at me, so my
18:00I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
18:11As I was swimming in the sea
18:14I came across a bum or three, oh my
18:19I took them to the coast guard man
18:21He said, hurry up and get that
18:24Oh my
18:30I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
18:41I've lost the key to my front door
18:44I can't get in there anymore, oh my
18:48I've lost the key to my love's heart
18:51It's down the train and in the dark, oh my
18:56I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
19:02Babo, babo, baboey

19:34Babo, babo, baboey
19:50One Friday afternoon at three o'clock
19:54A passing lady looked into a shop
19:58Her eyes lit up, official sign she read
20:03Recruiting office, that is what it said
20:07Excitedly she stepped inside to see
20:11How her sons would fare if they were military
20:16The man in charge to her was very sweet
20:20And said please sign here on this little sheet
20:24But when she got home her mind drew many fears
20:29A message from the soldiers in the war rang in her ears
20:34Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
20:39You know they'll only waste away
20:43Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
20:48You know they'll only waste away
20:52At six o'clock the lads came home from work
20:56She told them what she'd done, they went berserk
21:00We'll have to go to war and fight and die
21:05And Mrs Ward she wiped a tear from her eye
21:10Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
21:14You know they'll only waste away
21:18Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
21:23You know they'll only waste away
21:27Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
21:32You know they'll only waste away
21:36Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
21:40You know they'll only waste away
21:44Don't put your boys in the army Mrs Ward
21:49You know they'll only waste away
22:14Through our complaints, we are awake
22:19We want to do something, can we make it?
22:25I'm high in the sky, never said I'd keep trying
22:33I'm in the dream, I'm right in between the good and the bad
22:40I'm high in the sky, we made a deal, no need to say when
22:46I want you again and again
22:53I'm high in the sky, let's satisfy something stupid
23:01I'm in the dream, loving you seems so impulsive
23:08Still we kept on, nothing went wrong
23:12Together we proved love is strong
23:19I'm high in the sky, who's to say life won't have us
23:27Love's a dream, love's like a stream running down there
23:34Through our complaints, we'll find a way
23:38Forever together we'll stay
24:03La la la la la la la la la
24:08La la la la la la la la la
24:13La la la la la la la la la
24:16La la la la la la la la la
24:31Did you meet the lady who said she could fly?
24:39She broke down her wings when she fell from the sky
24:45The effort was great and she gave us sight
24:51Now I'll fly through the sky on my own, my own mind
24:57I can fly through the air, I can fly anywhere
25:02I can fly through the sky and you'll see if I dare
25:08When she was a girl, she would jump right ahead
25:15And she fell in love with the air and the sky
25:22She discovered her wings as she gave a louder cry
25:28Now I'll sail through the sky on my own, my own mind
25:34I can fly through the air, I can fly anywhere
25:39I can fly through the sky and you'll see if I dare
25:46Back to the story
25:51Now she's been repaired and her wings are as new
25:58She's laughing and dancing way up in the blue
26:04But look, she has gone, where could she go to?
26:11Her wings were so silver, her hair so blue
26:17I can fly through the air, I can fly anywhere
26:22I can fly through the sky and you'll see if I dare
26:27I can fly through the air, I can fly anywhere
26:31I can fly through the sky and you'll see if I dare
26:37I can fly through the air, I can fly anywhere
27:01Things are going wrong
27:05I used to wake up in the morning
27:09To the sound of the birds singing at my window
27:14Please wait for me, I'll be there at the end of the road
27:22Now the good things come with the wind
27:26It's bad today, I've moved away
27:29Things are going wrong, boy
27:33Things are going wrong
27:37I used to wake up in the morning
27:41To the sound of the birds singing at my window
27:45Please wait for me, I'll be there at the end of the road
27:50Things are going wrong, boy
27:54Things are going wrong
27:58I used to wake up in the morning

28:07Please wait for me, I'll be there at the end of the road
28:12Things are going wrong, boy
28:15Please wait for me, I'll be there at the end of the road
28:45I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
29:02I've lost the key to my front door
29:10I can't get in there anymore, oh my
29:15I've lost the key to my love's heart
29:18It's down the drain and in the dark, oh my
29:26I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
29:37As I was riding home from work
29:40I saw a robber stealing shirts, oh my
29:44I shouted, hey, I yelled, stop thief
29:47The policeman booked me for disturbing a peace, oh my
29:54I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
30:05As I was swimming in the sea
30:08I came across a bomb or three, oh my
30:13I took him to the coastguard man
30:16He said, hurry up and get that gun, oh my
30:25I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
30:36I've lost the key to my front door
30:39I can't get in there anymore, oh my
30:43I've lost the key to my love's heart

31:27Oh!
31:28I'm very lucky, I think you'll agree
31:50I see how they go
31:53On the wings of a shining bird
31:59No reason for anything
32:03It's not easy
32:09Follow me, follow
32:13Follow me to the rain
32:18Follow me, follow
32:21Where you will go
32:25I see how they go
32:29On the wings of a shining bird
32:34No reason for anything
32:38It's not easy
32:44Follow me, follow
32:47Follow me to the rain
32:52Follow me, follow
32:56Where you will go
33:00Follow me, follow
33:05Follow me to the rain
33:09Follow me, follow
33:13Where you will go
33:32Birds on the wing at the end of the day
33:38The trees are green and brown
33:40And she has suddenly turned grey
33:46Don't be too sad when you're waiting for death
33:52The message on the cotton worms
33:54That Nicky Mouse has fed
33:58Ooh, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da
34:02The broken house is now the church of India
34:05So India, so ooh, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da
34:10The grass, the ground, the burning man
34:12The burning fire, the burning man
34:23Our baby cries in the heat of the night
34:29Our bird steps up the stairs
34:30Our mother's there to hold her tight
34:36Happy young child at ease
34:39A dog running wild
34:42Sprinklers in the air
34:43And they've been running for a mile
34:53There goes that little girl again
34:59The years have passed, but all in vain
35:07The birds have fallen from the trees
35:13And this old bee shows them only
35:22But after all they do
35:25They stand there so still
35:28Looking at the stars and praying that she'll win the sale
35:35And this old Bettina
35:38A woman who's grown
35:41Perhaps she passed away, she's very old, but very good
35:49Ooh, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da
35:52The rocket arrows in the dark
35:54There's lots of hippies
35:57Ooh, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da, dee-da
35:59The grass, the ground, the burning man
36:01The burning fire, the burning man
36:12Why did this happen? Where did I go wrong?
36:19I know that now I'm old, I'm not too young, I'm not that long
36:26But someday we can be another day
36:32The trees are green and brown, you see, they'll suddenly turn gray
