[00:00.00]Dear Madam Barnum (2001 Remaster) - XTC
[00:10.54]I put on a fake smile
[00:13.60]And start the evening show
[00:18.81]The public is laughing
[00:21.92]I guess by now they know
[00:27.21]So climb from your high horse
[00:30.40]And pull this freak show down
[00:35.89]Dear madam barnum
[00:38.96]I resign as clown
[00:44.81]You said I was the master
[00:48.52]Of all I surveyed
[00:53.19]But now I'm sweeping up
[00:56.63]The last in line
[00:58.46]In your circus parade
[01:01.05]Children are clapping
[01:03.98]As I fall to the floor
[01:09.23]My heart torn and broken
[01:12.38]And they just scream for more
[01:17.59]If I'm not the sole fool
[01:20.80]Who pulls his trousers down
[01:26.02]Then dear madam barnum
[01:29.40]I resign as clown
[01:34.54]You tread the high wire
[01:38.87]Between truth and lies
[01:43.59]Your safety net just walked out
[01:47.23]Much to your surprise
[01:59.81]Strike up the band love
[02:02.83]And let the show begin
[02:08.00]For this is the last time
[02:11.16]I'm painting on a grin
[02:16.44]If I'm not the sole fool
[02:19.54]Who pulls his trousers down
[02:24.80]Then dear madam barnum
[02:28.19]I resign as clown
[02:32.40]I resign as clown
[02:36.59]I resign as clown
