A fantastic collaboration EP with Lawrence Grey featuring 'The Joker' - which you can download now on iTunes.
Sometimes, you have to take a good look at yourself - and ask: ‘Really - what the f**k am I doing?' ...
The Joker
Lyrics: Mick Evans / Music: Lorenz Stiegler
Step right up - meet ‘The Joker’
the travelling clown
entertainer - bending belief
come on gather round
Out of the spotlight - he comes down
I give you ‘The Joker’
beneath the greasepaint
behind that lob-sided smile -
lost face of ‘The Joker’
so alone in the mirror
stops to stare a while -
last call for ‘The Joker’
running on empty miles
Packs his old bag - for the morning
each new hole hand-sewn
the show is over - summer’s all done
takes his love back home
No more encores - hits the road
I give you ‘The Joker’
beneath the greasepaint
behind that lob-sided smile -
lost face of ‘The Joker’
so alone in the mirror
stops to stare a while -
last call for ‘The Joker’
running on empty miles
Welcome back! - welcome home!
been away - way too long -
brought my love back home
Farewell to ‘The Joker’
beyond the greasepaint
lost in a lazy smile -
no place for ‘The Joker’
feels like home in the mirror
home to stay a while -
farewell to the ‘The Joker’
lost in a lazy smile
