The Shotgun Express - "I could feel the whole world turn around"

Dedicated to the writer , Mr Ray Smith who's subcribed to my channel. Sure this song has been uploaded before by others but is well worthy of a place on my channel. As one of my all time favourite songs, this fantastic piece of blue eyed soul on UK Columbia form 1966 has been gracing Mod dancefloors for over 30 years now. I re-produce the words courtesy of Ray as I know it will have you singing along. Thanks Ray, this ones for you on behalf of the UK Mod scene. Its kept us dancing , get well soon mate.

"I could feel the whole world turn round" (Colton/Smith)

When I first saw you this strange kind of feeling set my head a-reeling
Like I hit the ceiling.
The same thing happened to me then, baby.
Something kind of crazy and everything went hazy.

Lightning and thunder shook the ground.
And I could feel the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feel the whole world turn round.

My, every nerve had been set on fire?
Burning with desire growing higher and higher.
Like on a funny fair big wheel stopping when you're at the top and
then you feel it droping



Rising and then falling down.
And I could feel the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.

It took my breath as though I've been running.
Quite completely stunning, highly overcoming.
And in a funny way it seemed frightening.
Tension and the hightning thunder and lightning
And not one single breath of sound


And I could feel the whole world turn round underneath me.

I could feel the whole world turn round when you're near me.
I could feel the whole world turn round.

I could feel the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feel the whole world turn round when you're near me.
I could feel the whole world turn round
