Half the street was now in the shade Someone said they'd left the parade Tony had come back from the strand Waiting for the Barrack Street band I tried to avoid all the songs But the last time I just caved in And now that I've been through it all I've decided to live with them Oh no no, chasing the li-lo Wish I was Tony Cochrane All the circus posters were gone Band was playing through the last songs This is where they stood on the day Wonder did they feel the same way But I have got this sinking feeling That I won't have it always A someday scary sinking feeling That I might slip and fall I tried to avoid all the songs But the last time I justc aved in And now that I've been throught it all I've decided to live with them
