Roundabouts And Swings Lyrics

What you lose on the swings
You gain on the roundabouts
Right here right now
You treasure the ride
Cos cometh the hour
The fat lady sings
You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings

You lost you a dollar bill
But you got a buck for your bang
Trust that you never will
Know your Ying from your Yang

You got the devil on your left hand
You got God on your right
Oh what a glorious fight

What you lose on the swings
You gain on the roundabouts
Right here right now
You treasure the ride
Cos cometh the hour
The fat lady sings
You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings

It's two dozen steps forward
And twenty four back
You're stuck on the wrong train
But you're on the right track

You've got a mountain in front of you
But a fair wind behind
And it's blowing your mind

What you lose on the swings
You gain on the roundabouts
Right here right now
You treasure the ride
Cos cometh the hour
The fat lady sings
You lose on the roundabouts and on the swings
