Welcome To The Circus ft. James Hawken & Phil Buckley Lyrics

Please welcome to the stage

Wilko Wilkes and his amazing magical bear

Barry Hemingway he hey

Wowzeroony

Welcome to the circus

Where you're the chief clown

Grab a copy of the programme

Let me show you around

The big top

Is where we dance and laugh

Where we dream of getting big and signing autographs

But watch out

Cos everything is not what it seems

If you sign up for the season you'll be giving up your dreams

You'll be wrestling with the strongman he'll be pulling down your jeans

Competing with the jugglers and the guy on the trapeze

The heat of the spotlight might make you sweat

But it's better to be living life than having regrets

Yeah

Ignore the tears behind our painted faces

Keep putting in the miles it could take you places

We've been to Binley Mega Chippy

And the Spud Man too

We've even been to Cincinnati

And stole an elephant from the zoo

That's why the last clown quit

Now there's an opening for you

Here's a helmet get in the cannon

And we'll show you what to do

Welcome to the Circus

In the tent where we're all performers

See our wonderful beasts

In all their glory

Beast

Welcome to the circus

Try not to drown

He's taking it up

He's bringing it down

At the circus

Step right up

We'll have you rummaging through the cupboards

Trying to find a clean cup

Forget the lipstick stains in this twisted game

You're doing mental acrobatics just to try to stay sane

Keep spinning the plates

For the crowd on top of us

You wanna right to see the back you'd better bring your binoculars

You wanna amplify your voice you'd better crank up the monitors

Exaggerate it all like a professional astrologer

Make it instagrammable you're guaranteed to be popular

Stick a zero on the end like you're a wedding photographer

In this hall of mirrors we're livin la vida loca

Put the cat back in the bag and I hope it don't stroke ya

It looks like a bee but stinks like a flower

Wasted by the way you need to make up all your hours

In the circus

Take a deep breath

In the tent where we're all performers

Come on Down

Step right up see Gary Hopping

Yorkshire's number one don't mess

See the mad hatter himself

Alexander Beesting

Don't Mess

Don't Mess

Huh huh huh hey kids

Let's play a game

HAHAHAHAHAA
