Tonality
DEDEDE
In the past the fools would pay
AEAE
To see the freaks of the day
DE
Contradictions of the norm
AEAE
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
D
No need for the tents and the cages now
E
The world comes to my eyes
D
In front of my TV circus
E
A freak show in disguise
Bm
Circles and roundabouts
AE
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
AE
The world freak show
Bm
Swings and revolutions
AE
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
AE
The world freak show
DEDE
Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another childʼs belly needs feeding
On land the fast-food chain is bleeding
And we bought our new green wool
And pulled it over our eyes
As the circus on all around
A freak show in disguise
Circles and roundabouts...
DEDEDEDE
And itʼs circles and roundabouts...
