Swings & Roundabouts

lyrics

There were rainbows in my mouth and I kept spiders in my hair
We didn't care for watching clocks or entertain a double dare.
We were the kings of Summer and life had just begun.

Pour a pitcher of kiora that will never touch our sides
Then sparks fly high from green-flash runners, laces are untied
We were the kings of Summer and life had just begun.

We were the kings of summer and we were better than the rest
We would live for ever and the sun would never set
We were the kings of summer, you must've heard us roar?
We were the kings of summer and we never needed more.


Will we just spin through these roundabout days?
With you turning heads and me chasing tails.
Catching the storm when the rains on parade.
Cagoule like a parachute, diving from planes.
Do you still run?
Would it still be the same?
Have you got the legs, do you remember my name?
I was the king of Summer and life had just begun.
I was the king of Summer and life had just begun.

We were the kings of summer and we were better than the rest
We would live for ever and the sun would never set
We were the kings of summer, you must've heard us roar?
We were the kings of summer and we never needed more.
We were the kings of summer and we never needed more
We never needed more
We never needed more

In 1957, Harley Earl designed the most beautiful automobile the world would ever see.

By 1960 the tail-fin was all but extinct.

In 2013 Harley Earl appeared to Essex chancers David Myers and Malcolm Moore in a dream.

‘Create melody and meaning that will allow the human race to move freely and without drag...

Be aer-o-dy-NAS-mic.

Be The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’.
