Clown lyrics

The Hollies
Clown
(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 5 on album `For Certain Because` (December 1966)

I see a clown painting his face once more
Before the show has started
He paints a smile on his face with his makeup now
Although he`s broken hearted
But the rule of the clown is simple
And the show must go on as always
People are there to laugh at him
And he mustn`t let them do-own

He`s lost someone dear to him
And he`s crying now although he doesn`t show it
He gives the show of his life though he`s breaking down
Although you`d never know it
But there`s something different about his smile
An unfamiliar frown
Yes there`s something different about him now
He`s painted his smile on upside down
