pp pppp
pppp pp eople rushing round with no time to spare. I'm so
pp pp dizzy I'm neither here nor there, in this traffic
pp pp pp jam I just want to shout let me off o' this
pp ppp english roundabout english roundabout and all the
pp the horns go 'beep! beep!' all the people follow like
sheep I'm full of light and sound making my head
go round, round. 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
english roundabout 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. 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 english roundabout.
