THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Please share examples of good, well-known songs with a lyrics that just makes you go

Two to start us off.

The first is from Elton's Rocketman, so I assume lyrics by Bernie T:

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell"

Hell is famously cold.

Then this from Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak, so lyric by Phil L:

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town"

It'll be at the jail Phil. Happy to help.

A few questions that I need to know

No All Saints, it's the answers that you're looking for

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba dye

Are you?? Are you da ba dee da ba dye??

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it, do it in the road?

No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

Not one of McCartney's greatest lyrics but...
