Elvis Costello - Clown Strike слова песни
Shell fix you with an iron crossAnd cover you up with petalsAnd hang you up with some amber beadsAnd four or five precious metalsAnd in that black flamingo chairYoull sit among her trophiesAnd pray to be abandonedTill you dont know what hope isChorus:But theres one thing that I had to keep insideBecause I was shakingWhy dont you get some prideThere was a clown strikeAnd the clowns threw down their toolsBut you dont have to play so hardAnd Im nobodys foolYou dont have to go so farcause I love you as you areThe big top is deserted nowAnd the circus girl rehearsesShe knows how to turn their headsAnd not fall between two horsesBut all that seems a simple stepIf only I were ableTo love you like I want to doAnd not by some times tableChorusAnd its pandemoniumFor the humble and the mightyYou dont have to tumble for meEven a clown knows when to strikeTell me what you want of meOr are you terrified of failure? You put on a superstitious faceBehind all this paraphernaliaWere not living in a masqueradeWhere you only have three wishesIt isnt easy to seeIn a lifetime of mistaken kissesChorusIn this pandemoniumFor the humble and the mightyYou dont have to tumble for meEven a clown knows when to strike
