the final disillusionment with the music business. title taken from les
dawson's brilliantly inspiring autobiography.
if you smile loud enough, no-one can hear your
heart breaking
i've seen the faces staring at the stage
thinking of the love and the money that you're making
a clown too many in a circus show
nobody questions the circus, no-one admits that they know
the right-wing schemes behind rock n roll dreams
excuse me while I bear my soul
if you get slick enough
they won't know that you faked the climax to it all
or the razzle-dazzle of the neon lights
is just a heart-breaking teenage fashion stall
if you wear the right make-up, no-one notices your tears
they fill their cash tills from your evenings cheap thrills
the circus has been going on for years….
hey you're a clown, a clown too many
hey, you're just a clown boy
