XTC › Lyrics › English Roundabout

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"
English roundabout, English roundabout
English round-a

And all the horns go 'Beep! Beep!'
All the people follow like sheep
I'm full of lights and sound
Making my head go 'round, 'round, '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, English roundabout
English round-a

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

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, English roundabout
English round

Round, round, round
Round, round, round
Round, round, round
. . .
