erasure – the circus [radio 1 session – 1987/03/10] lyrics
[verse 1: andy bell]
call it new technology
and they use it to burn
and they show no concern
work for their prosperity
while the big wheels turn
now it’s too late to learn
[pre+chorus 1: andy bell]
don’t upset the teacher
though we know he lied to you
don’t upset the preacher
he’s gonna close his eyes for you
[chorus: andy bell]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
[verse 2: andy bell]
father worked in industry
now the work has moved on
and the factory’s gone
see them sell your history
where once you were strong
and you used to belong
[pre+chorus 2: andy bell]
there was once a future
for a working man
there was once a lifetime
for a sk!llful hand
yesterday
[chorus: andy bell]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
[pre+chorus 1: andy bell]
don’t upset the teacher
though we know he lied to you
don’t upset the preacher
he’s gonna close his eyes for you
[chorus: andy bell]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
putting back the pieces of a broken dream
[verse 3: andy bell]
tempers fray so easily
in desperate despair
is there anyone who cares?
just another tragedy
just a personal affair
in a room somewhere
[pre+chorus 2: andy bell]
there was once a future
for a working man
there was once a lifetime
for a sk!llful hand
yesterday
[chorus: andy bell]
and it’s a shame
that you’re so afraid
just a worker waiting in the pouring rain, oh
putting back the pieces of a broken dream (a broken dream)
putting back the pieces of a broken dream (a broken dream)
(putting back) putting back the pieces of a broken dream
