Round and Round
Life's Carousel: Status Quo's Spiraling Journey of Work, Love, and Legend
Lyrics
Monday morning, beautiful sunshine
Expresses reluctance to start the work week despite the nice weather
don't want to go to work now
Desire to avoid going to work
Guess I won't be missed this one time
Belief that absence won't cause harm or disruption
Nobody's getting hurt now
Assurance that no harm will come from not being present
Telephone call on the red card hotline
Reference to a significant or urgent phone call
I'm never gonna learn how
Admission of not learning or understanding something
We go round and round and round and round and over again
Repetition indicating a continuous cycle or pattern
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
Life's constant changes and challenges, but eventual resolution
What goes round and round and round will come together again
Cyclical nature of events leading to eventual resolution
I dream all day, she tells me I'm lazy
Daydreaming instead of working, criticized for laziness
I think she'd better go now
Suggestion for the critic to leave
She doesn't understand, she's an airhead baby
Perception of misunderstanding by someone considered foolish
I'm a legend in my own town
Self-perceived importance in one's local environment
On the cars it's a definite maybe
Uncertainty regarding decisions related to cars or commitments
there's gonna be a showdown
Impending confrontation or decisive moment
We go round and round and round and round and over again
Reiteration of the cyclic nature of events
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
Life's upheavals leading to eventual resolution
What goes round and round and round will come together again
Continued reference to the cycle of events finding resolution
We go round and round and round and round and over again
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing cycle
Sometimes cool, sometimes crazy
Variability in behavior or circumstances
I never have a bad day
Claim of never having a negative or bad day
I stay clear when everything?s hazy
Clear-headedness during unclear situations
I never have a mad day
Assertion of never experiencing an angry or tumultuous day
Do my best, nothing can change me
Determination to remain unchanged despite efforts
I gotta do it my way
Insistence on doing things one's own way
'Cause we go round and round and round and round and over again
Reiteration of the continuous cycle in life
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
Life's constant fluctuations leading to resolution
What goes round and round and round will come together again
Reiteration of events' cyclical nature leading to resolution
