about

"This track is an absolute bottler!" Paul Gough, Chimes on 2SER 107.3FM

"the song is an example of what makes a group like Restless Leg as impossible to ignore as their namesake." Tyler Jenke, Tone Deaf

"a sparkling and effervescent new track which draws an indelible pop heritage from legendary antipodean bands such as The Go-Betweens and The Bats as well as the UK C86 movement. With such an heritage, the song still forges a vibrant new path that creates a sense of euphoria." Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia

'The Wheel It Turns' is the first single from Restless Leg's June 2021 album titled 'Dream Buffet'.

lyrics

Another year, another one
So I tallied up everything I done
Searched my mind and as I feared
For all that’s gone and there’s nothing here

And I learned
I was waiting for the wheel to turn
And it turned
Oh it turned

I knuckled down, I worked on it
Got a dead end job, renting a bedsit
She said whatever it is, your fortunes bring
The weight of its worth is in the waiting

But I don’t learn
Pulled the pin on which my fate would turn
And it turned
Oh it turned

[instrumental]

And I learned
I was waiting for the wheel to turn
And it turned
Oh it turned

It turns, it turns
Oh how the wheel it turns
