New single out 11 February 2022. "Melody with a hint of Bacharach; lyrics inspired by the ludicrous carryings-on at No 10 Clowning Street."
lyrics
Oh come all ye seekers of curious delights
Strange and wild creatures for all appetites
Harding and Stonely present for your merriment
Tricksters and jugglers, illusionists and thieves
Slippery magicians with what up their sleeves?
Most unbelievable sights, marvellous skills, dangerous thrills
Aw come on, this used to be fun
Let's break out and run
And follow the birds in the trees and the butterflies and bees
Let our fate be the breeze in the wilderness
Focus your eyes on the great blue horizon
Sail through the rise and the fall
D'you not think? D'you not think?
This circus is starting to sink
D'you not think? D'you not think?
The whole thing is perched on the brink
The clown shoes are starting to stink
Like a band thing
Not a good thing my friends
Hideous disfigurements, some seldom seen
Smallest and tallest and more inbetween
Finally we shall reveal the great missing link
All blonde and pink
Aw come on, this used to be fun
We'll break out and run
And make like the birds and the bees and the mighty wilderbeest
Let our fate be the breeze in the wilderness
Focus your eyes on the great lost horizon instead
D'you not think? D'you not think?
This circus is starting to shrink
D'you not think? D'you think not?
That we deserve more than we got
It's truly world-beating but not In a good way
Quite the bad way mon cher
Your leader's a circle without a beginning
And nobody knows where he really ends
Zero to Nero fiddling while the whole Big Top burns
D'you not think? D'you not think?
This circus is starting to shrink
D'you not think? D'you not think?
The funfest is gawn on the blink
The clown act is starting to stink like a bad thing
Not a good thing
D'you not think? D'you not think?
This circus has gawn on the blink
D'you not think? D'you not think?
The whole thing is perched on the brink
The clown shoes are starting to stink
Like a bad thing
D'you not think? D'you not think?
This circus is starting to shrink
D'you not think? D'you think not?
That we deserve more than we got
It's truly world-beating but not In a good way
mon cher
Spin the wheel!
