CAREY GULLY © 1974 Peter Head
You go on down Piggy Lane through the flowers
That paint the hills as far as you can see
And that's where I while away my hours
Hours of eternity
In a little tin shed on the hillside
Where we sit and drink our peppermint tea
And the candlelight flickers inside
'Cos we havent got electricity
But I know I've found peace in Carey Gully
And I haven't known that state of mind before
And I sing as I walk down in the valley
'Cos those city things don't bother me no more
Well it's taken such a long time to get there
And we've travelled a long winding road
Now I sit in my old rocking chair
And my darling I never will go
ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND

I wrote the answer up on the blackboard
For everyone to see
But the price they couldn't afford
So I guess it wasn't meant to be
I found a mansion up in the sky
But you didn't want to pay the rent
I can always get by
'Cos my pleasure don't cost me a cent
Round and round and round
Lay me on the ground
And in and up and down it goes
I can go a hundred miles an hour
But you put me in a no-speedin' zone
I live in an ivory tower
With a bath and a telephone
I got a ship that'll go to the moon
But your feet are stuck on the ground
Play that funky little tune
That just goes round and round
