about
You can only hear this song on this 7" Vinyl!
I have lost the digital files. Which makes this pressing extra special and rare.
"it sounds both completely demented and extremely brilliant" Peter Robinson, Pop Justice
"Carousel' has emerged online, causing an enormous stir in the process. There's a sense of classicism here, in the way that Holiday can reconstitute languid, widescreen pop into something thrillingly new" Robin Murray, Clash
"While Sidewinder’s classicly gentle, angelic, soft vocals remain stable throughout her debut, she also brings something new to the table – venturing into hints of jazz within an alternative, melancholic, pop-friendly framework" John Principe, Happy Mag
Lyrics
Did you hear the clock strike twelve
while we were dancing after dark?
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Your heart was racing, pounding and pacing
Your lips are warm and soft like summer rain
I could kiss them again and again
A penny for your thoughts in the wishing well
Early days and it’s too soon, it’s too soon to tell
I’ll take a ride upon your Carousel
Golden carriages and silver bells
I’ll take a ride upon your Carousel
Swing low, sweet chariot, angels will carry us
Listen to that sweet serenade
while the night sky fades into day
As the world turns and passes us by
I am lost in the ocean deep in your eyes
I'll be your patient passenger on this trip
as all sense of time starts to slip
You lift my spirit up off of the ground
then we float on back down but i’m heavenly bound
I’ll take a ride upon your Carousel
Golden carriages and silver bells
I’ll take a ride upon your Carousel
Swing low, sweet chariot, angels will carry us
