Roll Over

About Roll Over

Roll Over is a 1985 song by the Thompson Twins. It was intended for release as a single from the band's album Here's To Future Days, but was recalled and withdrawn from shelves the same day of release with the remaining copies destroyed. Some copies made it onto the market before being recalled. After a bout with nervous exhaustion which left him with no reflexes, lead vocalist Tom Bailey took it as a bad omen and decided against the release of the song. Subsequently, it was only released on the North American versions of the album. The versions found on the single are different mixes than the final album version which was co-produced by Nile Rodgers. The B-side, a semi-instrumental version of "King For A Day" titled "Fools In Paradise", was exclusive to this single. more »

Father John and his keep
Preachin' to the women on the easy street for free
Roll over again (Give me drum)
Through the years
Plyin' his trade
Lookin' for heaven on a silver plate
Roll over again 
If only he knew it didn't have to be that way
Oh, the promised land
Is just another slice of the cake 

Round and round,
It's always round and round we go (Round and round we go)
Yeah, where it leads us
Nobody knows (Nobody)
No, no, 
Dance and dance 
Why must we dance our lives away (Dance our lives away)
How much it bleeds us
No-one can say (Say say say say) 

Jezebel made her way,
Sliding around on dirty sheets all day
So roll over again (1, 2, 3, 4)
She lived for years
With the fear
That real true love might never come her way
Roll over again 
If only she knew it didn't have to be that way
Yeah, if true romance 
Was just another slice of the cake 

Round and round,
It's always round and round we go (Round and round we go)
Yeah, where it leads us
Nobody knows (Nobody)
No, no, 
Dance and dance 
Why must we dance our lives away (Dance our lives away)
How much it bleeds us
No-one can say (Say say say say) 

You and me,
Chasing dreams
We can't see the forest for the trees
We roll over again (Yeah)
You and me
Dance so well
Just like John and Jezebel
We roll over again (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, let's dance!) 

Round and round,
It's always round and round we go (Round and round we go)
Yeah, where it leads us
Nobody knows (Nobody)
No, no, 
Dance and dance 
Why must we dance our lives away (Dance our lives away)
How much it bleeds us
No-one can say (Say say say say) 

No one can say
