Barclay James Harvest - The Joker Lyrics






I think I'm going back from where I came
There's something that I feel but can't explain
People running round and round
Putting one another down
The joker laughs the joker cries
He sees the world through weary eyes
People running round and round
Putting one another down

Too many people, they don't know where they're going
There are no haloes showing
"Peace and love", just greed and hate
It's not too late to see we're all the same
The joker sees a better way
But people laugh and turn away

Barclay James Harvest The Joker Comments

    This is without doubt my favourite BJH song and totally underrated and underplayed. Very simple and short lyrics but very, very powerful. If only more people could listen to 'The Joker' and take the lesson to heart.

    It was through Bombadill....1972-1973 !!! what a lack of producers........since 1974 they were on the road again!

    Superb early BJH! Highly recommended example of their distinctive early 1970s style.

    @rohneburg Yes, It's really a great song! I wonder why no one has uploaded it before.
