Nick Barker - Clowntown Lyrics




I can hear the neighbours screaming

Kids are fed the husband's leaving

Can't ignore the shining chances

Sideways looks and second glances

And if you see a seagull wheeling

It's from the tip, it's so deceiving

Ocean is a full days travel

Road is paved with Chinese gravel



Don't know how I got so beaten down

Pushed around

And how I wound up in Clown town

This is Clown Town



Once a year a rocket staggers

Through the sky as people gather

Jaws drop down to picnic blankets

Bourbon cans in hi-vis jackets

Where's a reason to stop drinking?

Sun is high my yardarm's shrinking

Can't stand up from years of falling

Rafter in the shed is talking



I don't know how I got so beaten down

Pushed around

And how I wound up in Clown town

In this Clown Town



Break a generation tackle

If I could learn to pick my battles

Angry moment spur

Regiments against divisions

I can hear the neighbours screaming

4am someone's bleeding

Can't avoid the flying vases

AVO's Anger classes





I Don't know how I got so beaten down

Pushed around

Overlooked and plain worn-out

Then I wound up in Clown town

In this Clown Town

This is Clown Town
