Dark Company: Corner Clowns (alpha mix)

Corner Clowns by Dark Company. From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'. CORNER CLOWNS Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Slippin’ round the edge of a hidden door Waving at me daily from across the floor Dancing through the dark in a conga line Kicking up their legs, they look so fine Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Slidin’ down the walls from the picture rails Shouting at me rudely in grunts and wails Hopping up and down in a vulgar way Singing their songs of yesterday Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Living in the skirting boards mouse’s holes Showing me proudly what they stole Shining lights round my room at night But I keep my eyes shut real tight Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Here they come again, I see them Lyrics by P.

FUN FACTS: * This classic rock number has a Tim Curryesque cabaret feel to it. * It is also a somewhat comical piece of cock-rock. * The key is E major and it is 145 BPM. * It describes the spirits and ghosts that lurk in corners when it's dark. * Perhaps this is a song for the children, but maybe not very young children. * Corner Clowns has a wonderful fun feel to it somehow. * The guitar break between verses two and three was composed by George when he was about five years old. * This was following a rather tedious morning in Sunday School somewhere in London, which he attended only thrice. * An older girl was grumpy that he had coloured somebody in with green skin.
