    Talking A song by Kate Rusby.

    It is sung by Kate Rusby and it played at the end of Jam and Jerusalem series three episode three as Sal and Jock are walking across the field.

    From what I can hear the first few lines have something to do with ferris wheels, dizzy dancing and fairytales becoming real or something similar. Its hard to understand what she's saying.

    Any help would be really awesome!!

    It's part of a song called ' Both Sides Now' by Joni Mitchell:

    Both Sides Now

    Rows and flows of angel's hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feathered canyons everywhere
    I've looked at clouds that way

    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and they snow on everyone
    So many things I would have done
    But clouds got in my way.

    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down, but still somehow
    It's cloud illusions I recall
    I really don't know clouds at all.

    Moon and Junes and Ferris wheels
    That dizzy dancing way you feel
    As every fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at love that way.

    But now it's just another show
    You leave them laughing when you go
    And if you care, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself away.

    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take, but still somehow
    It's love's illusions I recall
    I really don't know love at all.

    Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say "I love you" right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way

    But now old friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads, they say I've changed
    Well something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day.

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose, but still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all.

    -- Joni Mitchell

    The theme for the series 'Jam & Jerusalem' ('Clatterford' in US) is Kate Rusby's version of 'The Village Green Preservation Society' which was written by the British 60's group The Kinks first recorded in 1968.
