blind-fitter Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'm pretty sure this song was covered by Terry Hall (formerly of The Specials / Fun Boy Three). Not quite confident enough to add this to the SongFacts though...I think his version may have featured on the "Help!" compilation album (also featuring Radiohead, Paul Weller, Manic Street Preachers)released in the early 90s to raise support for the plight of children in war-torn Yugoslavia. But I've lost my copy of that album so I can't verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Terry Hall covered that song, yes, BF. I was searching in youtube in case I found the video but nope... I guess young people probably know the version by Sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Song: Windmills of Your Mind Lyrics Round, like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel. Never ending or beginning, On an ever spinning wheel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnaval balloon Like a carousell that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes on it's face And the world is like an apple Whirling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Like a tunnel that you follow To a tunnel of it's own Down a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never shone Like a door that keeps revolving In a half forgotten dream Or the ripples from a pebble Someone tosses in a stream. Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes on it's face And the world is like an apple Whirling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Keys that jingle in your pocket Words that jangle your head Why did summer go so quickly Was it something that I said Lovers walking allong the shore, Leave their footprints in the sand Was the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand Pictures hanging in a hallway And a fragment of this song Half remembered names and faces But to whom do they belong When you knew that it was over Were you suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the color of her hair Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning, On an ever spinning wheel As the images unwind Like the circle that you find In the windmills of your mind Pictures hanging in a hallway And the fragment of this song Half remembered names and faces But to whom do they belong When you knew that it was over Were you suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the color of her hair Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning, On an ever spinning wheel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
