about

The flip side "Rollercoaster", a fun shuffle penned by Pannuzzo and Bourne, features a cool bass solo by new ace bassist Zoë Frater. The whole band is front and centre on the record, operating as it does, like one organism pumping its roots goodness for feet and hearts to thump by.

lyrics

I’m a roller coaster baby
I’m a roller coaster baby
I’m a roller coaster baby
All your ups and downs

I’ll be your thrill when the tide is high
I’ll catch your spill when you start to cry
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
All your ups and downs

I’ll be your sunrise when the morning comes
But with these sticky fingers I’ll be all thumbs
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
All your ups and downs

I’ll paint the town red when it’s green for go
But I’ll likely play dead, turn your fast to slow
I’ll do something wrong when everything’s alright
I’ll bore you all day but keep you up all night

‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
‘cause I’m your roller coaster baby
All your ups and downs
Yeah I’m your roller coaster baby
Yeah I’m your roller coaster baby
Yeah I’m your roller coaster baby
All your ups and downs
