I have a good one for you this edition. Its called "Spinning Wheel" by Blood Sweat and Tears. Oh my god, do I love this band. Or should I say the David Clayton-Thomas era. They were smart for ditching the first guy, but they were stupid for thinking anyone could replace him. His voice makes me thank whatever higher power there is that this was recorded for future generations to hear what a great singer sounds like. Plus, the brass section is kick ass! Just hear for yourself. oh, and Michael informed me recently that the song is about a Carousel (among other things popular in the late 60's). Who makes songs about that? Awesome people, that's who. Enjoy!
What goes up must come down
Spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Catch a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home
Spinning wheel, spinning all alone
I hear you talking about your troubles and you never, never learn
Catch a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel turn
Did you find a directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign?
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the river side
Catch a painted pony
On the spinning wheel ride
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the river side
Catch a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel fly
