XTC

XTC was a New Wave band from Swindon, England, active between 1977 and 2005. The band enjoyed some chart success, including the UK and Canadian hits "Making Plans for Nigel" (1979) and "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), but are perhaps even better known for their long-standing critical (rather than commercial) success. more »

People rushing round with no time to spare. 
I'm so dizzy, 
I'm neither here nor there. 
In this traffic jam, 
I just want to shout, 
Let me off o' this English roundabout 

English roundabout 

And all the the horns go 'beep! beep!' 
All the people follow like sheep, 
I'm full of light and sound, 
Making my head go round, round. 

Everyone is cursing under their breath, 
I'm a passenger, 
I feel close to death, 
Hopeless situation, 
I have no doubt. 
Stop the madness, English roundabout 

English roundabout 

And all the cars go 'brum! brum!' 
And in my ears I feel a hum, 
The neons blind my eyes, 
All those tempers rise, rise. 

Cars and buses go, 
Puffing out their smoke, 
Roll my window down, 
I begin to choke. 
I have had enough, 
I just want to get out. 
Let me off o' this English roundabout. 

English roundabout.
