Lyrics
Licking up to the top, lollipop, floating in the midday sun.
Sweet thing floating by lying on a cloud right next to me.
The man with the hammer took a walk, I don't know where he's gone.
My mind went out and took reason to the sea.
Caught an angel in my eye and I guess this must be heaven.
He's got a grin on me and says his name is friendly.
Keeping kind of cool I ask him what he's doing here.
He just smiles and then he says to me . . .
The world is spinning round and round, it makes a sound, what a sound
Your Angel’s walking with you here, whispers love, in your ear
So take heed to what I sing to you, let your light, shine through
Carol's in the clouds and she's been there since last Tuesday.
She doesn't know it now but she's a little bit in love.
She's a little insecure, very happy and a little bit frightened.
As she walks through her thoughts, she's flying in the clouds above.
Well Tina's got the curves and she doesn't swerve from maybe.
She's come in from the cold and now she's doing fine.
The TV men want to know if she's had enough gravy.
Now Tina's got them hanging on her every line.
The world is spinning round and round, it makes a sound, what a sound
Your Angel’s walking with you here, whispers love, in your ear
So take heed to what I sing to you, let your light, shine through
I started writing Round and Round in 1991 on an island in Thailand and it lived on as an acoustic version called “Dancing in the Blue Sky” for some years. I started to record it as an acoustic version in 2016.
In 2018 I decided to make a different musical version and it sounded better. In late 2018 I had a dream where I heard a new chorus so at 4am in the morning I ended up humming it to my phone recorder and renamed the song “Round and Round”.
Round and Round was released in 2019 and is a pop song with elements of rock and reggae thrown in. I was fortunate that Doris Ackermann offered to do backing vocals. She remarked that it might sound better with some real brass so I contacted Daniel Wacker and he provided the saxophone. Oliver Poole did a great job on the main vocals as usual. I asked Nic Burrows and Chris Smith from Raindance Music Ltd. to help me with the drums and bass. I like working with Nic and Chris because they aim to get the best result. Benjamin Poole provided the splendid cover artwork.
