Song: Beautiful Circle Tab
G There's work to be done, you had a good go
D The tractor is ready there's plenty to sow
this years the year with good looking ground
G and I'm feeling good as I make my way round.
G Down comes my dinner and then I'm away
D nothing is better with tea buts and cake,
but its dry Sao biscuits and who's to complain
G cause the tractor is ready to go round again.
G Oh it's a beautiful circle, so I don't go insane
C I'll drive up and down, and up and down again
D C D G
but as soon as I'm right, I might try going round again
G The cheeky old fox he's been using my light
D he's lucky me tractors not armed for the night
The owl's out here too, swoopin the ground
G I'll help you again on my way back around
G I've been out in the paddock all night and a bit
D And my takeover driver should be down with the ute
So I call on the channel but I can't track him down
G So goodmorning sunrise I'll race you around
CHORUS
Bridge:
C G This is my life and we understand
D Me and my tractor going (round and round).
CHORUS
G Oh it's a beautiful circle, so I don't go insane
C I'll drive up and down, and up and down again
D When I've had enough of that
C D G
I might try over and back.

SO DID Y' HEAR THE STORY
OF THE JOHNSTONE TWINS?
AS LIKE EACH OTHER AS TWO NEW PINS
OF ONE WOMB BORN, ON THE SELF SAME DAY,
HOW ONE WAS KEPT AND ONE GIVEN AWAY?
AN' DID YOU NEVER HEAR HOW THE JOHNSTONES DIED,
NEVER KNOWING THAT THEY SHARED ONE NAME,
TILL THE DAY THEY DIED, WHEN A MOTHER CRIED
MY OWN DEAR SONS LIE SLAIN.
AN DID Y' NEVER HEAR OF THE MOTHER SO CRUEL,
THERE'S A STONE IN PLACE OF HER HEART?
THEN BRING HER ON AND COME JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES
HOW SHE CAME TO PLAY THIS PART.
The play is a contemporary nature vs. nurture tale revolving around fraternal twins separated at birth. The twins' different backgrounds take them to the opposite ends of the social spectrum, one becoming an Oxbridge graduated councilor and the other ending up on the dole and in prison for a while. Both fall in love with the same girl; this girl is married to one of them and the other is stealing her, and ultimately this conflict leads to their tragic death.
This also shows how a difference in class can make a big difference, how two babies brought into the world by the same parents can lead two very different lives and be two very different people; "And do we blame Superstition for what's come to pass, or is what we the British have come to know as class?"
MRS JOHNSTONE
MICKEY. DON'T SHOOT EDDIE. HE'S YOUR
BROTHER. YOU HAD A TWIN BROTHER. I COULDN'T
AFFORD TO KEEP BOTH OF YOU. HIS MOTHER
COULDN'T HAVE KIDS. I AGREED TO GIVE ONE OF YOU AWAY!
MICKEY
YOU! YOU! WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE ME AWAY MAM!
I COULD HAVE BEEN. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIM! NO!

AND DO WE BLAME SUPERSTITION FOR WHAT CAME TO PASS?
OR COULD IT BE WHAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW AS CLASS?
DID YOU EVER HEAR THE STORY OF THE JOHNSTONE TWINS,
AS LIKE EACH OTHER AS TWO NEW PINS
HOW ONE WAS KEPT AND ONE GIVEN AWAY,
HOW THEY WERE BORN, AND THEY DIED,
ON THE SELF SAME DAY?
MRS JOHNSTONE
Tell me it's not true,
Say it's just a story,
Something on the news.
Tell me it's not true,
Though it's here before me,
Say it's just a dream,
Say it's just a scene,
From an old movie of years ago,
From an old movie of Marilyn Monroe,
Say it's just some clowns,
Two players in the limelight,
And bring the curtain down.
Say it's just two clowns,
Who couldn't get their lines right,
Say it's just a show on the radio,
That we can turn over and start again,
That we can turn over; it's just a game.
MRS. JOHNSTONE AND COMPANY
Tell me it's not true,
Say I only dreamed it,
And morning will come soon.
Tell me it's not true
Say you didn't mean it.
Say it's just pretend
Say it's just the end
Of an old movie from long ago
From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe.
