Rollercoaster - 1994 Remaster
Singing for supper round the world
I've laughed in the afternoon
I have danced after the pubs have closed
By the bandstand under the moon
I've been drunk and I've been sober
I've been happy and I've been sad
But there never was a tour
Like the one we just had
And the roller coaster rolls round
We all know it's slow going up
But just watch how fast it comes down
Junk food after mid-night
Hotel breakfast no champagne
Coffee quiet moments
And manic backstage games
Flying high on a good night
Racing down the aisles
With the surge of sound and power
Reflecting wicked smiles
And the roller coaster rolls round
We all know it's slow going up
But just watch how fast it comes down
And I head an old lady
With a ghost of a voice
Singing time worn songs
Learnt in childhood
They are graceful heroic songs
In a style out of time
Sung in the only way she knows she could
And they come up fresh as morning dew
But there gems will last
To sparkle in the dark
A magic lantern of the past
And the roller coaster rolls round
We all know it's slow going up
But just watch how fast it comes down
I've laughed in the afternoon
I have danced after the pubs have closed
By the bandstand under the moon
I've been drunk and I've been sober
I've been happy and I've been sad
But there never was a tour
Like the one we just had
And the roller coaster rolls round
We all know it's slow going up
But just watch how fast it comes down
Junk food after mid-night
Hotel breakfast no champagne
Coffee quiet moments
And manic backstage games
Flying high on a good night
Racing down the aisles
With the surge of sound and power
Reflecting wicked smiles
And the roller coaster rolls round
We all know it's slow going up
But just watch how fast it comes down
And I head an old lady
With a ghost of a voice
Singing time worn songs
Learnt in childhood
They are graceful heroic songs
In a style out of time
Sung in the only way she knows she could
And they come up fresh as morning dew
But there gems will last
To sparkle in the dark
A magic lantern of the past
And the roller coaster rolls round
We all know it's slow going up
But just watch how fast it comes down
