Last Merry Go Round (for Deep Fixer)

DF

I went away and transcribed what I could, but when I logged back in I see it was actually Ferris Wheel you were looking for! I'll give that a go too. In the meantime, I think this is maybe about 80% accurate!


Last Merry Go Round

I was learning to fly, I was rising so high
My feet left the ground, I was riding the sky
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry go round

Call me a victim, call me a fool
I gotta make the hero (?), I got out of school
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry go round

Everything loves me and everything’s real
Ah! That sweet anticipation was all I could feel
My conscience is clean and my head’s in a spin
The world is (my oyster? Probably not - ZT)
There was nothing to fear.
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry go round

It’s certainly cool, it was sweet for a spell
It came to a stop and then I was in Hell
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry go round
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry
I was last, last, last on the merry go round

I got the lyrics that I used in a little "cut and paste" from Max Wilcox's 'Terminal Cafe' site.

I also "lifted" Starcruiser, Dodgem Dude, Sixteen Year Old Doom, Rolling in the Ruins and Candyfloss Cowboy.

Glad to see y'all are digging it, too! :D Was kind of wondering, 'cause nobody was commenting on them, lots of viewings, though.

I'll check out accuracy of mine then! Is the url listed anywhere on MWM?

[DeepFixer]

Dunno if it's here. It used to be (I think) on the old Multiverse site.

Some of the lyrics Max transcribed don't match exactly with the tracks on NWF, so I 'correct' them as/when I post the songs. 'Correct' being defined as how I hear them, which may not be right either :P

Wow ..... Good site! :D Somewhere else to waste much time!
