Lyrics
People rushing round with no time to spare
I'm so dizzy, I'm neither here nor there
In this traffic jam, I just want to shout
Let me off o' this
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English rounda
And all the the horns go 'beep! beep!'
All the people follow like sheep
And all the lights and sound
Making my head go round, round
(Oo-oo, oo-oo)
(Oo-oo, oo-oo)
Everyone is cursing under their breath
I'm a passenger, I feel close to death
Hopeless situation, I have no doubt
Stop the madness
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English rounda
And all the cars go 'brum! brum!'
And in my ears I feel a hum
The neons blind my eyes
All those tempers rise, rise, rise, rise
(Oo-oo, oo-oo)
(Oo-oo, oo-oo)
(Oo-oo, oo-oo)
(Oo-oo, oo-oo)
Cars and buses go puffing out their smoke
Roll my window down, I begin to choke
I have had enough, I just want to get out
Let me off o' this
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English roundabout (oh, oh, oh)
English rounda
Round-round, round-round, round-round, round-round
Round-round, round-round, round-round, round-round
Round-round, round-round, round-round, round-round
Round-round, round-round, round-round, round-round
