Harvey Jay Dodgson - Caroline

Stand upon your soapbox boy and it’s not gunna make you taller. You can
Swim as far as you want out into the ocean; nothing’s gunna hurt the water. You can
Run for miles and miles and miles, but you’re only gunna reach the border. So
Keep standing on this lie and your life’s only gunna be getting shorter.

Can’t read the news without a frown on your face,
The world - it thinks you’re going mad.
People fill the streets with high-top boots and old receipts and
Lungs deplete. All they hear is the bad. So

Sweet, sweet Caroline
Remind us of the summertime
When our lives where good and new.
Sweet, sweet Caroline
Won’t you be a friend of mine and
Let the summer blossom over you.

You can
Scream, protest on the streets in a seventy-five-degree heat to a marching beat,
Stick your faces on the covers of the magazines, stamp your feet,
Still you haven’t afflicted the enemy.
‘Till you hold a bullet to the side of his face,
Fire brigade won’t come coz they’re on strike again -
Didn’t get the wages they deserve to be paid -
Still the spotlight shines on the footballers theatre-parade.

Can’t read the news without a frown on your face,
The world - it thinks you’re going mad.
People fill the streets with high-top boots and old receipts and
Lungs deplete. All they hear is the bad. So

Sweet, sweet Caroline
Remind us of the summertime
When our lives where good and new.
Sweet, sweet Caroline
Won’t you be a friend of mine and
Let the summer blossom over you.

Sweet, sweet Caroline
Remind us of the summertime
When our lives were so sublime.
Oh my Caroline, Oh my baby dandelion,
I’ll keep my focus on the brighter side, (Yes I’ll)
Keep my focus on the brighter side.
