Artist/Band: XTC
Lyrics for Song: English Roundabout
Lyrics for Album: English Settlement [1982]



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

...
