I saw you there by the side of the road

You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain

Waiting for buses to carry you home

Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame



I can see no sign of action in your eyes

There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try



Remember taking a ride on a ferris wheel

And really enjoying yourself, bye bye blues

Remember taking a bet on a race

You faced the future with a smile on your face, win or lose



No, I don't mean to preach, I don't mean to patronise

There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try



Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl

Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl

Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl

Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl...........



I saw you there by the side of the road

You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain

Waiting for buses to carry you home

Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame



No, never give up, giving in, it's like kissing goodbye

There's a thrill, that you'll never know, if you never try



Why don't you give it a whirl...
