Hackett, Steve - The Wheel's Turning Lyrics






"There is no schadenfreude here"

The roller coaster groaned
Like a galleon on the ever-changing tide
We jumped on to the back
Of a silver-tailed monster ride
Pink and grey gave way every night
To a neon paradise

As the wheel's turning a film starts to play
Of all the ones who just got away

Swallowed by the grotto's mouth
Crossing over lava burning red
With eyes wide as fruit machines
We tried to knock the lady out of bed
Sirens echo a darker time
Devil riders flying blind

As the wheel's turning a film starts to play
Of all the ones who just got away

Pink and grey gave way every night
Devil riders flying blind

As the wheel's turning a film starts to play
Of all the ones who just got away

Hackett, Steve The Wheel's Turning Comments
  1. R.... K....

    Sounds like the Beatles went prog !!!

    +Richard Khan One week and I see him in Albany NY, at the EGG.

  2. A.... ....

    Mr Hackett he is always creative!the best guitarist-composer in history of rock!

  3. G.... H....

    This song reminds me of "Every Day" in terms of its lyrical beauty. The video is awesome!

  4. L.... P....

    I could´nt agree more, Steve is a living legend 

  5. t.... ....

    After OOTTM, BTSHH amazed me (Again) with that level of musicianship and originality, subtle melodies and very strong and deep solos, complex structures (The Hackett way !) This song, my friends proves only one thing, Steve Hackett is like good old wine, the older, the BETTER !  One thing that does not happen (And will not) with Pete, Phil, Tony and Mike, I do feel sorry for them ...Money isn"t everything and Father time has proven it ... In spite of the fact that creating good music nowadays is so, so, hard to make ... 

    t.... ....

    In an interview on u tube (28/03/15 I think) Steve says, "The truth is, I don't do it to sell loads and loads of records.  I do it because I love the music I do."  Although, he admits he would be happy if a billion albums sold!  Good song. 

  6. S.... V....

    Grande Steve! Realmente disfuté Genesis Extended en Buenos Aires. Un lujo! Espero que vengas con Acolyte to Wolflight tour. Prometo ir con mi hijo. 

  7. R.... L....

     i've listened to this song approximately 50x i appreciate it more and more each time  i can only imagine the rest of the album.... he amazes me steve hackett.. so different, but so pleasant his music whether it's soft, harder  or whatever it's always just amazing.   

  8. R.... C....

    I can't wait to hear the full album!!!

  9. s.... ....

    It sounds a bit like a mashup of some of the other songs from the last 9 years or so but still good.

  10. K.... S....

    Brilliant. I love it! Keep up the great work Steve!

  11. n.... d....

    I like the how a catchy pop song it is with some proggie surprises. The kind of music I would even love to have on the radio playing in the background.

  12. C.... B....

    It feels like coming home. I very much look forward to the album.

  13. J.... S....

    Nice one Steve

  14. f.... I....

    Does anybody eles think this sounds like something that would have been on the Beatles Sargent pepper record? But it is a great song I'm just saying.

    f.... I....

    I thought the same thing.  "A Day In the Life".  I like this song.  Lots of positive youthful energy.  Like Steve!

    f.... I....

    faith, i can't believe u said this YES   exactly  the first time i ehard this i said the exact same thing to my brother.   wow, very cool

  15. d.... ....

    un des meilleurs du prog  des 70's à maintenant avec ian anderson et rick wakeman, bravo !

  16. m.... ....

    me suena por momentos más a la ELO que a Genesis.

  17. V.... D....

    Good job steve!

  18. I.... ....

    Unusual and a very special song. Steve Hackett always amazes me with an unique way of always creating something new and fresh, yet maintaining his personality. I love all the wealth of sound and the song just screams "experience". Another masterpiece that will always bring me back to the times when I first heard the music of this amazing man.

    I.... ....

    iceman, you summed it up perfectly.. i feel the exact same way about steve hackett and his music thru the years. everything is always refreshing 

    I.... ....

    Full range, from pop rock opening to progressive hard rock finish.  Looking forward to hearing the entire album.  And to seeing him here in San Francisco.  He had two sold out shows here in December.  That's my music!

  19. R.... L....

    great great new song.  everything about it, the words, music, VOCALS are tremendous.   well worth waiting for. steve said this album is his best work ever, i see  his point so far.

  20. 2.... ....

    Well done! Added to the Main Prog Rock & Best of 2015 video playlists embedded on the World United Music website.

  21. A.... G....

    Master Hackett returns with a fine combination of irony, ethereal musicianship, and classy writing. Long live and prosperous!

  22. W.... U....

    New song sounds really good.  I love it.

  23. x.... ....

    Audio quality is poor; it's not in stereo! Is that done for copy protection reasons?

    x.... ....

    exact; j'ai trouvé aussi que le son est pas terrible; j'espère que l'album n'est pas comme ça. dailleurs il est vrai que sur les dernières productions de Steve il arrive souvent que le son soit pas terrible comme si on avait recouvert les enceintes d'un drap, un manque de clarté disons .

  24. R.... ....

    Genial. Optimista, alegre y muy dinámico. Me recuerda un poco a los Travelling Wilburys.

  25. C.... ....

    Like the song actually quite a lot.  Dislike the video.

    C.... ....

    @CthulhuWaitsDreaming I never liked these "Lyric videos" either ever since it became a thing. I think it belongs to mainstream music sort of.

  26. a.... ....

    Interesting!

  27. M.... ....

    Great track. Look forward to hearing the whole album. Great stuff!!!
