With 'Carousel' I had an idea and it all came out quickly.

On A Carousel
The Hollies
On A Carousel
(Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks & Graham Nash)
Single release 1967
Riding along on a carousel,
tryin' to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel,
will I catch up to you?
Horses chasing
'cause they're racing
So they ain't so far
On a carousel
On a carousel
Nearer and nearer by changing horses,
still so far away
People fighting for their places
just get in my way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you,
still we're going round
On a carousel,
On a carousel
Round and round and round and round and
round and round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too
As she leaves, she drops the presents
that she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water,
got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it,
a case of do-or-die
On a carousel
On a carousel
Round and round and round and round and
round and round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too
Riding along on a carousel,
trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel,
will I catch up to you?
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel
On a carousel
On a carousel
{fade out}
On a carousel
On a carousel...

The Night The Carousel Burnt Down
Werent you there when the carousel burned down
The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound
I swear you were there when the carousel burned down
We were all around
The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground
And the heads hung down
And we all left town the next day
The children all cried when the carousel burned down
The old ladies sighed and the carousel burned down
The rest of us lied as the carousel burned down
And the flames did fly
The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye
As the boiler died
And they melted down the midway
And we all left town the next day

Circus Girl
Written by michael jackson
Shes from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Only your eyes for a dime
Little children laughing
Im from a world
Of disappointments and confusions
But I want her to be mine
I started talking
She kept on walking
She dissapeared into the crowd
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a cicus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away
I was the clown
And she was the dancer
We both knew it wouldnt work
But we took our chances
What I cant recall
Is if there was a girl at all
Or was it my imagination?
I still remember
All of those faces
And now all I have is memories
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a cicus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away
Two different people
In love for an instant
To see that the circus came today
Sometimes I can hear her crying here
And I can hear her calling me
Dont you know?
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a cicus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away.

Carousel
Memories
Like summer rain
Come and go
Ebb and flow.
Like the tide.
Our carousel ride
So brief.
Like dewdrops on a leaf.
In the softest Autumn sigh
Both in beauty, wait to die.
Heaven or hell
Split by one golden hair.
Ride your carousel
Before that electric chair.
Embrace joy
And your bird will soar.
Dance with your lover on the shore.
Woo her with a forever kiss.
Heat her heart with passion burning.
Drink the sky, and every bliss.
While your carousel's still turning.

Carousel Man
I had a taste of bitter life
At sweet sixteen
I was growing up too fast
If you know what I mean
Met an older man
Who taught me his own way to live
And all I had to do to keep him
Was to give and give
Chorus:
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That Id stay around
The carousel man
Wouldnt let me off his merry-go-round
I followed him around in traveling shows
Along the main county lines
Watching him drinking his mind away
Not ever knowing my name at time
Each night when the show closed down
He used to tell me of his dreams
He was wearing new french suits
While I mended my torn jeans
Chorus
Then one night in santa fe
The horses stop going around
There he was my poor rich man
Lying on the mexico ground
All the sad music of his life
Is still spinning in my mind
The carousel starts up again
And I found my place in life
Chorus x 2

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

Merry Go Down
Skin and bone
Tremble on the throne
Something unexpected couldnt hurt
Behind my eyes scenes I cant describe
Intimidated, fascinated, stealing glances
Flesh and wire
Knotted with desire
Chewing on my lip to hide the truth
Picture this, everything I miss
Circle back and forth until Im green all over
Green all over
No fair, music in the air
Under your spell
Fell beneath the carousel
The sound had me spinning all around
Under your wonderful carousel
Merry go down
Skin and bone
Tremble on the throne
Something unexpected but deserved
Picture this, everything I miss
Heavens daughter underwater conversations
Flesh and wire, knotted desire
Circle back and forth until Im green all over
Green all over
No fair, music in the air
Under your spell
Fell beneath the carousel
The sound had me spinning all around
Under your wonderful carousel
Merry go down
Under your wonderful carousel
Merry go down

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

070110C changes we have to live
i was sitting listening to music
when a three knocks at my door
without hesitation i quickly open
to see a boy with bowl of sweets
with smile he offered to get some
i reach, pick one and put in my lips
i saw my self offering cup of coffee
to my dad long time ago, i remember
he would take me for a ride around town
buy me ice cream and ride a carousel
i listen to his unending epic stories
this kid play by himself, xbox & wiis

I guess any simple idea that is really good will catch on quickly.
The Great Divide
In the canyons of the great divide
Familiar places that we can run and hide
Are filled with strangers
Walking in our houses alone
In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You wont fit in too well
On the horses of the carousel
She rides alone with you and me
She rides like she knows
Wherever she goes, well be there
On the carousel
Life is going well
Anyone can tell were in love
On the carousel
Youre gonna like the way you feel
You and i, we got caught down there
In the twisted canyons of the great divide
We walked the floor
Now we dont go there anymore
In the great divide
Nothin to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
I dont fit in too well
In the great divide
Nothin to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You wont fit in too well

My Carousel
Spotlights are roaming
The show will begin
I had never thought
But dont give my circus away
I hope it ends before you know me
Ive lost it completely
My faith is lost again Id say
Im tired of this place and I want to go
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
Im spinning and turning
Always revolving
You should have seen it
Where were you?
I needed a stage
To walk all over you
Thats better
Im throwing my three ring away
And I can hear you say
Im tired of this place
Im tired of this place and then I think of
Riding my carousel
They can never tell
Close all of the doors
Lock me away
Im happy Im here
So let me stay

Just For A Day
You have no idea what it’s like
To be the oldest
No idea what it’s like
To be exiled
You have no idea what it’s like
To be unnoticed
No idea what it’s like
To be me
So I suggest you put on my mask
For a while
Just for a year, for a month
For a day
So you can see
What it’s like
To be me
You can finally feel
My positions
Feel your weakness
In times like mine
How your feelings compress
All together
When you don’t say anything,
But hang your head
I took lots of photographs and had planned to write a treatise on how it worked, but I quickly got bored with that idea and wrote a scientific fairy tale instead.

Every suggested idea produces a corresponding physical reaction. Every idea constantly repeated ends by being engraved upon the brain, provoking the act which corresponds to that idea.

It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.
