Rollercoaster |
Singing for supper round the world |
I’ve laughed in the afternoon |
I have danced after the pubs have closed |
By the bandstand under the moon |
I’ve been drunk and I’ve been sober |
I’ve been happy and I’ve been sad |
But there never was a tour |
Like the one we just had |
And the roller coaster rolls round |
We all know it’s slow going up |
But just watch how fast it comes down |
Junk food after mid-night |
Hotel breakfast no champagne |
Coffee quiet moments |
And manic backstage games |
Flying high on a good night |
Racing down the aisles |
With the surge of sound and power |
Reflecting wicked smiles |
And the roller coaster rolls round |
We all know it’s slow going up |
But just watch how fast it comes down |
And I head an old lady |
With a ghost of a voice |
Singing time worn songs |
Learnt in childhood |
They are graceful heroic songs |
In a style out of time |
Sung in the only way she knows she could |
And they come up fresh as morning dew |
But there gems will last |
To sparkle in the dark |
A magic lantern of the past |
And the roller coaster rolls round |
We all know it’s slow going up |
But just watch how fast it comes down |
