arne åsmund - when the circus came to town lyrics

do you remember the first time your pretty eyes met mine
on that warm summer evening, in the middle of july
it happened that friday when the circus came to town
you were eating cotton candy on the merry+go+round

but they told me you had others, to whom i could never compare
grown up, handsome lovers who would buy you anything
and take you anywhere

so i decided that i had to even out the odds
i clearly wasn’t dealt the very best hand of cards
but if all of these bachelors, would somehow disappear
i was sure you could fall for somebody like me
young billy played football, he was the captain of the team
he was surrounded by girls, but he had a crush on you it seemed
he failed to come home from a running trip one night
they found him run over by the same car twice
but you still had many others to whom i could not compare
grown up, handsome lovers who’d buy you anything and take you anywhere

marcello lombardo, your teacher in math
was known to give you special attention after class
one morning his maid found him screaming at a piece of bread
he had been crudely lobotomized, with an icepick to the head

oswald the painter, he was an old perverted bloke
i heard he had done a painting of you where you weren’t wearing clothes
it was all over the news when they found the dirty swine
he had died from drinking a bit too many pints of turpentine

but still you had some others to whom i could not compare
grown up, handsome lovers who’d buy you anything and take you anywhere

racecar+driver roger, he was really quite the star
i went up to his house one night and i modified his car
the next day they found him at the bottom of the lake
why would anyone go driving down those hills without no brakes

handsome eddie the young new deputy in town
it was said that he’d been seen driving you around
one day eddie took a leap from a 12th floor balcony
after eating six or seven donuts, spiked with lsd
now there weren’t so many others to whom i could not compare
all your other lovers, had all these random accidents or simply disappeared

do you remember the last time i held your hands in mine
standing on your porch with sirens all around
i told you that i loved you and you seemed quite surprised
but as the cops read my charges the tears ran from your eyes

but i knew that you would never, meet another quite like me
i was never handsome, talented or smart
but i think i still managed to make you remember me
