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 |
