CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
The
stage director
stood up and he
called the actors down
He
asked them all to
say three words, ‘Up’, ‘Down’ and ‘A
round’
So, ‘
Up’, ‘Down’ and ‘A
round’ they cried with
one according voice
And
up, down and a
round they went, for it was their only
choice
[CHORUS:]
I can only
turn again,
to the
front again
Only to
turn again,
to the
rear
Turn again,
turn again,
turn, turn,
turn, again
I can
listen, but
I can’t
hear
[VERSE 2:]
My
friend’s girl, she has a
wireless aerial
sticking out of her head
And a
pile of true ro
mances lying underneath the
bed
And a
giant poster of
Rabby Noakes
just beside the door
But I
know she’ll get along
fine without him if it doesn’t see her any
more
[CHORUS:]
I can only
turn again,
to the
front again
Only to
turn again,
to the
rear
Turn again,
turn again,
turn, turn,
turn, again
I can
listen, but
I can’t
hear
[VERSE 3:]
The
strings were cut from the
guitar puppet
singer on the stage
And his
music became
furious and he stamped his foot in
rage
The
girls all screamed in
agony, the
boys they gaped in fear
And the
song was called ‘Have
Mercy Baby, Have
Mercy On My Ear’
[CHORUS:]
I can only
turn again,
to the
front again
Only to
turn again,
to the
rear
Turn again,
turn again,
turn, turn,
turn, again
I can
listen, but
I can’t
hear
[VERSE 4:]
I re
member what the
old man said on his
little wooden stand
As he
spoke very
quietly with a waving of his
hand
“
Every pigeon to
its own hole”, but
what he seemed to say
I
know I should go
looking for, a better place to
stay
[CHORUS:]
I can only
turn again,
to the
front again
Only to
turn again,
to the
rear
Turn again,
turn again,
turn, turn,
turn, again
I can
listen, but
I can’t
hear
Turn again,
turn again,
turn, turn,
turn, again
I can
listen, but
I___
__ can’t
hear
