Billys Smart Circus Tab

To die for his mother country 

                        
isn't every fathers wish 

                                 
But if you're ever feeling hungry 

                      
feast your eyes on this 

                            
Bullied beat up cabbaged kids 

                             
to be patched up by the nurse 

                             
who's carrying the baggage in 

                             
for the private patients first 


(, , , )
(, , , )


                                 
and the doctor's praying to Buddha 

                          
"Send me to another town!" 

                    
A shovelful of sugar 

                               
won't help that medicine go down 

                                
As the actress said to the bishop 

                          
I stand accused your Grace 

                             
of the seven deadly cynicisms 

                        
and a total lack of faith 



                                   
And if I put this gun against my head 

                               
and pull the trigger I'll be dead 

                         
But if I listen to my heart 

                             
it say's Billy that ain't smart 

                                
so I'll do something else instead 



                           
(Billy's smart, Bily's smart, circus for the bleeding hearts 
feed the world, heal the sick, take the piss out of the shit 
live your life without a net, stick your head down a lion's neck 
and listen to the people cheer send in the clowns 
don't bother they're here) 


                              
To die for his mother's country 

                       
isn't every fathers wish 

                                 
But if you're ever feeling hungry 

                      
feast your eyes on this 

                   
under funded O.A.P.s 

                     
turn to life of crime 

                                  
The great cucumber robberies of 1989 

                            
Send 'em down and bang 'em up 

                            
in a South London maisonette 

                           
unlicensed and unregistered 

                           
it shouldn't happen to a vet 

                                
As the actress said to the bishop 

                        
the Rabbi and the Priest 

                           
My eyes have seen the glory 

                       
I'm a born again atheist 


                                   
And if I put this gun against my head 

                               
and pull the trigger I'll be dead 

                         
But if I listen to my heart 

                             
it say's Billy that ain't smart 

                                 
so I'll shoot someone else instead 

                                   
And if I put this gun against my head 

                               
and pull the trigger I'll be dead 

                         
But if I listen to my heart 

                             
it say's Billy that ain't smart 

                                 
so I'll shoot someone else instead
