about

'Carousel' is a road trip. A story of my own and other characters' travels and experiences and how our lives unfold

lyrics

Johnny went to Euston
To get a train up north
Didn't know where he was going
He just knew he had to head on out
He's into hard work
And following a path
He's streets ahead of the rest
He's got the last laughs

Chorus:
He's on a carousel
Ah you never can tell
He's on a carousel
You never can tell

Susie's got a memory
Like you would not believe
Other things people don't notice
On the streets
She can always see
She's got a magnetic mind
She's got power of recall
Other people don't get it
But Susie can see through it all

Chorus:
She's on a carousel
Ah you never can tell...

Sylvi came over from Italy
To work here in the sticks
She's into marine biology
And statistics
They told her she was crazy
They told her she was wrong
But she's doing what she loves
She's singing her own song

Chorus:
She's on a carousel
Ah you never can tell...

Henry looks wild
He's got big crazy hair
He still plays in a couple of bands
Here and there
When he was a boy of seventeen
He wanted to go to London to have it made
But his Daddy said
'No son you've gotta stay behind]
And learn a trade'

Chorus:
He's on a carousel
Ah you never can tell
He's on a carousel
You never can tell
They're on my carousel
Ah you never can tell
They're on my carousel
You never can tell
