Death Of A Clown (The Kinks)


One of the songs that I love that makes me think about life and death and how sorry we are about doing things and things we didn't do. About the band it is The Kinks one of the best British bands they are were in the era of the Beatles but they we more famouse after that era they were much mad than that time they one of the bands that began banging and throughing guitars they are said that they are the band that had the rules of metal music and there performances but I don't believe in so there music is much simpler than that. Anyhow listen to the song and enjoy thinking :D

My makeup is dry and it clags on 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 fight 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
