Millennium Wheel Songtext
von Leo Sayer

I was riding on a London bus just by Spitalfields
Trying to avoid the rush, working for my daily meal
A man says, "Have ya heard they′re putting up a big wheel
On the side of the River Thames to mark the end of the century?"

And I wonder if we ever learn by the way the seasons turn
Why it's all the rage turning history′s page
On a book that we're gonna burn

Still, I wanna be the first to ride
Blaze a trail across the sky
In a car that's gonna fly
Ride the millennium, ride the millennium
The best hour you′ll ever spend
From the West to the East end
See the river running round the bend
When you ride the millennium, ride the millennium wheel
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


Singing, this is my town, this is my town, my town
This is my town, my town
Yeah, this is my town, this is my town, my town
This is my town, my town

Everybody′s on the make, icing up the layer cake
Yeah, they all wanna be a star like gangsters in a Soho bar
I met a banker with a money roll
Who said the streets are paved with gold
But I've never even seen a cent
And I don′t where my Euro went

If you're feeling a little down, we can spin your world around
You′ll be lost and found 'til you leave the ground
And you′re high above this town
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And I wanna be the first to ride
That big wheel in the sky
The future's really gonna fly
When we ride the millennium, ride the millennium
The river running round the bend
From the East to the West end
It's a dream that′ll never end
If we ride the millennium, ride the millennium wheel
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


Singing, this is my town, this is my town, my town
This is my town, my town
Yeah, this is my town, this is my town, my town
This is my town, my town

Yeah, this is my town, this is my town, my town
Yeah, this is my town
Oh, this is my town, this is my town, my town
This is my town

Yeah, this is my town, babe (this is my town, my town)
This is my town
This is where I live, baby, yeah (this is my town, this is my town, my town)
This where I live (this is my town, my town)
I′m coming home, babe (this is my town, this is my town, my town)
(This is my town, my town) yeah
(This is my town, this is my town, my town) I tell ya I'm coming home, baby
(This is my town, my town)

I′m coming home, baby, woo
I'm coming home
I′m coming home, yeah
Back to my little old town
(Oh yeah) home, I'm coming home
This is my town (I′m coming home)
This is my town
This is my town, baby, woo
(I'm coming home) this is my town, this is where I live, yeah
