about

Smoky melancholy jazz ballad about the ups and downs of life and getting back on the horse when you fall off.

lyrics

Love weighs you down
As you drag it around
Let's cut the heart strings
Cos feelings are foolish things
Pack up your case
Paint a smile on your face
There's so much out there
Still to see
Let's swap your blues
For cheerier hues
With every sunset
There's more perspective
Wipe all those tears
And claw back those years
You feel you've wasted
On that loser

Life is merry-go-round
Full of ups, full of downs
Life is cruel carousel
That keeps spinning
Never slowing down
It's a race to the end
Which nobody ever wins

Banish the clouds
That hovered around
Casting gloomy
Tear stained shadows
Put a foot on the road
And see where it leads
Sure enough your
Heart will follow
Shrug off your sighs
Tell them all it's goodbye
This time I am
Traveling light

Life is a merry-go-round
Full of ups, full of downs
Life is a cruel carousel
That keeps spinning
Never slowing down
It's a race to the end
Which nobody ever wins

Love weighs you down
As you drag it around
Let's cut the heart strings
Cos feelings are foolish things
Pack up your case
Paint a smile on your face
There's so much out there
Still to see

woe oh woe oh woe oh woe
