Lyrics

Common Land


Words & Music by Pete Hamilton

Chorus:

Standing on the inside – looking out
What is this love of the waltzer and the roundabout
If I could find, someone like me
Then I would take her by the hand
We could talk and she would understand
And we could stay forever here – on common land

Standing on the outside – looking in
Two thousand dancers are waiting for the band to begin
I played my part, waited too long
And someone bought my ticket for a song

Instrumental

Standing on my own side – standing still
The band is for dancing, and dance they surely will
I wish you luck, for wrong would I be
Fair is the wind, that took you away from me

(CHORUS)
