Their Smiles Aren't Real

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, I normally find an hour or two on a Sunday to try and get some of the bits and pieces in my head recorded but yesterday was kinda busy and non productive. Today however was even busier but I attempted to get a song done this evening in about four hours. i'm quite pleased with the result but I really feel it would have benefited from a lot more input. Anyway hope you like........Willie


Do you remember when the circus came to town
And we all watched as they paraded up and down
The horses pranced and the elephants danced
The lions roared and the bears just pawed

But I don't like the clowns
They scare me
Their smiles aren't real

We sat and watched as the girls flew through the air
Flying so high they didn't have a care
We held our breath and never made a sound
As the trapeze artiste fell toward the ground (they caught her)

reminds me of one of my prior circus adventures lol

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all and thank you Satch, It was fun but looks like I gotta up my game. On listening back I detect similarities in other stuff I've posted, D lends itself to nice chord progressions and I can just about sing in in that key, guilty as charged. I still don't like bloody clowns though, regards .........Willie
