LYRICS

Baby, We Are Living The Life That Most Could Only Dream Of
And Baby, Look At The Debris Of What We Have Become
Oh Can’t Anybody Help Us?
Why Should Anybody Care?
I’m So Taken In By You
I Would Follow You Oohh To The Other Side
Our Connections Are Sugar Sweet
So Strap Up, Take It All In Your Stride
Oh Cant Anybody Help Us?
Why Should Anybody Care?
Cut Throats Are Going In For The Kill
Bumbling Flashes Snapping At Our Heels

We May Appear Like Circus Freaks
Juggling With All We Have Able
But At The End Of The Day Our Cards Upon The Table
Nothing Left Concealed
Oh, All Will Be Revealed

Baby, We Are Living The Life That Most Could Only Imagine, Imagine All The People
And Baby, Look At The Debris And What We Have Become
Clear All This Clutter From The Front Room Dear
Give Me A Little Whistle When The Coast Is Clear

‘Cause, We May Appear Like Circus Freaks
Balancing Upon The Tight Rope
To A Dumb Struck Helpless Crowd
Willing Us On, Hope Against Hope
We May Appear Like Circus Freaks
Death Defying Antics Down A Dead End Street
Desperate To Avoid The Tabloid, Soiled To The Souls Of Our Feet

We May Appear Like Circus Freaks
Juggling With All We Have Able
But. At The End Of The Day Our Cards Are Upon The Table
No More Bets

OVERVIEW

Chris: Woody wrote ‘Circus Freaks’ with Lee. It was quite a ‘rock’-type song. It was good, though the guitar wasn’t loud enough.

Mike: I was playing the piano so hard on ‘Circus Freaks’ some of my fingers started bleeding. I’m used to doing takes in bits. But Owen wanted me to do the whole thing in one take, which is not really my way of doing it, and I caught my finger, and I kept playing because he was saying he wanted to get a complete take. There was blood all over the keys, and Owen was telling people, “Oh Barso, what a player – blood on the piano!”

Woody: ‘Circus Freaks’ is so bombastic, it’s got everything in it. It’s my fault, because I had this string part I wanted to put on it. I wish the producer had said “No, don’t do it, because it’s cluttering it up”‘. Charlie’s version was brilliant. The song was something I’d written in the 90s and given to Lee. And the thing about Lee is, years and years later, he’ll come up with lyrics for something you gave him yonks ago.
