In the Light of Fires Burning Lyrics

The carousel is turning
the fairground is alive
With the sound 'Telstar' playing
and Joe Meek has scored a '5'
La la la la la la la
On the coconut stall
Had Johnny remembered to call
we'd be having a ball
Ah-ha Ah-ha Ah-ha Ah-ha
In the light of fires burning
Burning brightly in the distance
From the distance of the brightly burning fires
Came the light
Oh Syd

Look what we did
We took all your dreams
And made the nightmares instead
And Emily only plays cards now
At the W.I.
At the W.I.
The carousel's stopped turning
The sky is painted black
Gerry Goffin's on the ghost train
And he knows he's going back
La la la la la la la
To the candy-floss days
Were Sedaka's getting ready to play
And Carole's on the phone right now
Ah-ha Ah-ha Ah-ha Ah-ha
In the light of fires burning
Burning brightly in the distance
From the distance of the brightly burning fires
Came the light
Oh Syd
Look what we did
We took all your devils
and made them angels instead
And Arnold Layne knits pretty cardigans
For the W.I.
For the W.I.
For the W.I.
The carousel is burning
the fairground is alight
And the Beatles on Ed Sullivan
Take a magic carpet right
La la la la la la la
