XTC - Dear Madam Barnum Lyrics
I put on a fake smile
And start the evening show
The public is laughing
I guess by now they know
So climb from your high horse
Dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
You said I was the master of all I surveyed
But now I'm sweeping up
The last in line in your circus parade
Children are clapping
As I fall to the floor
My heart torn and broken
And they just scream for more
If I'm not the sole fool
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
You tread the high wire
Between truth and lies
Your safety net just walked out
Much to your surprise
Strike up the band love
And let the show begin
For this is the last time
I'm painting on a grin
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown

XTC Dear Madam Barnum Comments
Sounds like a Paul McCartney song
Heard this in mrs maisel 😄
Why does my head mix melodies of this song and "You bring the summer"?
I admire the way this song makes me want to tap my foot and sing along while feeling slightly depressed.
Great English band out of time, music always présent and so good on stage.
One of the underrated bands!
My second-favorite band ... after those four lads from Liverpool.
100% agreed....:)
MGTOW 4Ever!
Wish they would produce a best of XTC album
every album is a best off,,
Fossil Fuel will do that.
@r c read my mind.
It would be about 20 hours long!
This is a great album. I wish more knew about the artistry of XTC. They're a treasure.
Couldn't agree with you more! They're my favorite band!
