Merry Go Round Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, uh huh, hey, oh yeah, oo hoo
Here we go, one, two, one two three four

I cried my tears with a glass of tequila
For a truck-stop honey with a dubious name
She held my heart like a blackjack dealer
Took my money when I left the game
She was overly fond of sophisticated fucking around
I′ve had a bellyful of living on the same old merry-go-round

Well I played in the Summer, I froze in the Winter
I hankered for a high school beauty queen
She was married to a rich young timber-miller
And christened a boy when she was just nineteen
Crazy love, I'm never gonna settle down
I′ve had a bellyful of living on the same old merry-go-round


Like any man I gotta work for a living
Just to earn my work for the weekend show
Saturday morning I'll be down by the river
Pissed at the Copmanhurst rodeo
A weekend comes, I'll set fire to the town
I′ve had a bellyful of living, the same old merry-go-round

Take it away now, shh, yeah
Alright, oh, shh

I wanna leave this town, gonna leave the town, I wanna set fire to the town
Leave this town, gonna leave the town, I wanna set fire to...
I wanna set fire to the town, yeah
I wanna set fire to the town
I wanna set fire to the town right now
I′ll set fire to the town right now (here we go)
I wanna fire to the town
I'll set fire to the town
I′ll set fire to the town (here we go)
I'll set fire to the town

Well I′m looking out as the sun goes down
Drinking Bundaburg at the end of the day
I'm twenty-five and only half alive
The rest is only just a ticket away
Well give me a ticket, take me to a city hotel, oh yeah


I′ve had a bellyful of living, the same old merry-go-round
I've had a bellyful of living, the same old merry-go-round, yes I have
I've had a bellyful of living, the same old merry-go-round, woh, here we go, yeah
One two three four

Oh... wooh
Alright, how you doin′?
