Sandé, Emeli - Clown Lyrics






I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
'Cause from over here I missed the joke
Clear the way for my crash landing
I've done it again
Another number for your notes

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out
How I can move from the back of the line

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circles
Selling out tonight

I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition
I'll have time for 'Please'
I'll have time for 'Thank you'
As soon as I win

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circles
Selling out tonight

From a distance my choice is simple
From a distance I can entertain
So you can see me
I put make-up on my face
But there's no way you can feel it
From so far away

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonight

    ThanQ for sharing Truth They cant take your soul if Christ Already has it so Play Chess! Your Voice(God's Gift), message in your music and now your Platform they Think they gave you is Yours to Awaken others. Dont be afraid to Shake the Heaven and Hearts of the masses and shed Light to the Darkness! Defeat it w Faith Love and Choice to take a stance. God gave you that voice so Get your Groove On and Share that message the way Only you can. Innuendo and hitting the subconscious mind is a powerful tool against the Clown Industry. Stand w Truth and With Him! Can't wait to hear you sing again!

  34. J.... H....

  64. h.... ....

    The lyrics hit me so hard cos I interpreted it differently. I'm always the one trying to make everyone laugh, be it with my family, my friends, my boyfriend. I never allow them to see me break down and cry. I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I tried before to cry in front of them, it just won't come out. So I swallowed it all in, continue to make them laugh, continue to take care of them while I put on my brave facade, I put on my makeup so that they won't see my pain. I suffered from severed depression and was suicidal several times, yet my dad has no idea. I care for my loved ones too much to let them see what I'm going through.

    h.... ....

    @ORYIN True, but sadly we can't choose family. All we can do is try to make the best out of it.

    h.... ....

    @Mary Aam Merci dear, c'est gentile 😘 we all want to be the best for our loved ones. I hope you're doing alright over there *hugssss*

    h.... ....

    hazwanee25 ohh wahou your french is good 🥰 yes exactly, i hope you're better, big love and hugssss from here

    h.... ....

    @hazwanee25 It's true. I've been raised in a family that taught me the needs of others come first, that thinking about your own good is selfish and a sin, so it has been very hard to learn to take care of me, too. No, you are not alone and we can do this! 🤗😘 BEST WISHES!

    h.... ....

    if i can say one thing only as someone a few years ahead of you, be true to yourself. I wish someone had taught me that many years ago.

  65. c.... l....

    Thank you for this beautiful song

  66. s.... ....

    So called Fame does not even deserve to own this. Beauty of a true talent is that, it appears and then.... existssssss...............

    Very talented woman

  78. d.... c....

    the fairy with a twirl

  79. G.... T....

    This seems to represent her being asked to sell her soul as far as the video. Don't shoot the messenger!

  80. C.... W....

    Your So Beautiful Inside at the Core to the Outside to your bitter roots !

  81. S.... C....

    J.... B....

    She was forced to signed that contract for selling her soul. She's sold her soul for money and fame. Re-watch the video and take a deep look at the words the soldier's are saying to her.

  88. H.... ....

    The pen that comes out at 0:30. I think it's a black and gold Parker Pen. I use the Parker fountain pen version for songwriting. :-) Love this song.

  89. R.... G....

    What Such An Beautiful Song 😫🥺😭🤧💔

  90. S.... L....

    For me it´s about what everybody expects from me.
    I have Kidney failure, I was born with to little kidneys - so I go to dialyses since I am 16, now I am 35. And I had a break for 4 year thanks to the donated kidney I got but I couldn´t last cause I needed an oparation on my heart - I have several congenital heart defects. And always my family expects from me to be happy and like some healthy person. And that´s hard play for them. But I do it for them. Cause I love them.

  91. H.... t....

    Illuminati sellout

  92. y.... m....

    Such a sell out.

  93. N.... P....

    When will this lady receive the accolades she deserves? Beautiful voice, songs have meaning and touches my soul.

  94. S.... K....

    I`m mostly here because of the upcoming Joker film, although, it never played in the trailer, just seems inspiring.

  95. N.... g....

    people listening to this song = 🤡
