Jam - Standards lyrics

When the circus rolled in to here all the people came running

And you being blind little you, followed on with your money

There were lions and tigers and juggling bears

And bald headed clowns, with their big stupid ears

And a freak show

Tucked away in the corner

So you joined the straggling queue veering off to the left

And you handed your fistful of hope to the man in the tight red vest

But he clutched at your arms

He wouldn't let go, you were scared as he spoke

'I think that I know you..There's a look in your eyes says you think you've been lonely lately lonely lately.'

'Step a little closer' he says, 'I've got something to show you'

As he pulled back the curtain you gasped at the horror before you

He cried 'This ones an Iron man and this ones a midget

This one's got nine pairs of hands with 12 fingers that can pull back your eyelids to see if you've really been lonely lately.

Are you lonely and have you been lonely lately? We're so lonely lonely"
