My makeup is dry and it cracks 'round my chin
I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore The lions they won't bite and the tigers won't roar La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la So let's all drink to the death of a clown Won't someone help me to break up this crown Let's all drink to the death of a clown La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Let's all drink to the death of a clown The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor Nobody needs fortunes told anymore The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees And frantically looking for runaway fleas La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Let's all drink to the death of a clown So won't someone help me to break up this crown Let's all drink to the death of a clown La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Let's all drink to the death of a clown La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la |

Sylvilla looked into her mirror
Percilla looked into the washing machine And the drudgery of being wed She was so jealous of her sister And her liberty, and her smart young friends She was so jealous of her sister Sylvilla looked into the wardrobe Percilla looked into the frying pan And the bacon and eggs And the breakfast is served She was so jealous of her sister And her way of life, and her luxury flat She was so jealous of her sister She threw away her dirty dishes just to be free again Her women's weekly magazines just to be free again And put the children in the nursery just to be free again Percilla saw her little children And then decided she was better off Than the wayward lass that her sister had been No longer jealous of her sister So she ran 'round the house with her curlers on No longer jealous of her sister |

If, if I could see
Just how lonely my life would be If you passed me by and said farewell And there is no return Stars would shine no more I would walk up and down this lonely room I would have friends, but be alone For there is no return For you were my first love And now it looks like you've gone And I have waited too long For if, if I could see Just how lonely my life would be If you passed me by and said farewell And there is no return There is no return |

Oh, Tom is young and tom is bold
Tom is as Bold as a night of old But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam There's nothing he won't do to get a harry rag Harry rag, harry rag Do anything just to get a harry rag And he curses himself for the life he's led Then he rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed. Oh, Tom's old mum is a dying lass Soon they reckon she'll be pushing up the grass And her bones might ache and her skin might sag But she's still got enough strength to have a harry rag Harry rag, harry rag Do anything just to get a harry rag And she curses herself for the life she's led Then she rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed. Oh, bless your taxman bless his soul He may take some, but will never take it all If I give it all, I won't feel sad As long as I have enough to buy a harry rag Harry rag, harry rag Do anything just to get a harry rag And I curse myself for the life I've led Then I roll myself a harry rag and puts myself to bed. Oh, the smart young ladies of the land Can't relax without a harry in their hand Then they light one up and they boast and brag So content because they got a harry rag Harry rag, harry rag Do anything just to get a harry rag Then they light one up and they boast and brag So content because they got a harry rag Hey, harry rag, harry rag, I'll do anything just to get a harry rag And I curse myself for the life I've led Then I roll myself a harry rag and puts myself to bed |

Lazy old sun
What have you done to summertime? Hiding away Behind all those misty thunder clouds I don't mind To spend my time Looking for you For you are my one reality When I'm dead and gone Your light will shine eternally Sunny rain, shine my way Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun You make the rainbows and you make the night disappear You melt the frost so I won't criticize my sun When I was young My world was three foot, seven inch tall When you were young There was no world at all Sunny rain, shine my way Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun Lazy old sun Lazy old sun Lazy old sun |

You're walking 'round in my memory
That only gets stronger and stronger Smudged mascara and pill-shaped eyes Everything you want was bought with lies. But what can I do about it The say you won't last any longer All the gates of love you won't walk through The only gates you see are colored blue. I see you peering through frosted windows Eyes don't smile, all they do is cry Funny Face, she's all right Funny Face, she's all right Funny Face, she's all right Oh how can I live without her The doctors won't let me see her But I can catch a glimpse through the doorway Of the girl that I love and care for I see you peering through frosted windows Eyes don't smile, all they do is cry Funny Face, she's all right Funny Face, she's all right Funny Face, she's all right |

Winter time is coming
All the sky is grey Summer birds aren't singing Since you went away Since you've been gone, end of the season Winter is here, close of play I get no kicks walking down Saville Row There's no more chicks left where the green grass grows and I know that Winter is here, end of the season My reason's gone, close of play I just can't mix in all the clubs I know Now Labour's in, I have no place to go You're on a yacht near an island in Greece Though you are hot, forget me not I will keep waiting until your return Now you are gone, end of the season Winter will come any day Back in the scrum on a wet afternoon Down in the mud, dreaming of flowers in June End of the season End of the season |

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy, taxi light shines so bright But I don't need no friends As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise (Sha-la-la) Every day I look at the world from my window (Sha-la-la) But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine) Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night But I don't feel afraid As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise (Sha-la-la) Every day I look at the world from my window (Sha-la-la) But chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine) Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground But Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound And they don't need no friends As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset they are in paradise Waterloo sunset's fine Waterloo sunset's fine Waterloo sunset's fine |
