Liner Notes

#onetake
Based on a true-story. Ish. Don't have nightmares

Lyrics

There’s a clown in town and he looks so blue
Kinda reminded me of you
With his shock of hair and outsized shoes
He really did remind me of you

It’s hard to make them laugh when you’re feeling down
No one really cares about the life of a clown

There’s a child inside and he wants to get out
Play with his friends, run and shout
There’s a child inside and he wants to be free
I think he reminds you of me

It’s hard to make them laugh when you’ve fallen down
No one really cares about the life of a circus clown

There’s a circus in town I don’t think I’ll go
I went last year and it depressed me so
The acrobats were great and the ringmaster too
But those dreadful clowns with their outsized shoes!
No, they weren’t funny, nobody laughed.

Great story-telling through and through, got me hooked from first to last line - and I especially like the "nobody laughed" in the end. Great onetake!
