The Hollies - Clown lyrics

I see a clown painting his face once more Before the show has started He paints a smile on his face with his makeup now Although he's broken hearted But the rule of the clown is simple And the show must go on as always People are there to laugh at him And he mustn't let them down He's lost someone dear to him And he's crying now although he doesn't show it He gives the show of his life though he's breaking down Although you'd never know it But there's something different about his smile An unfamiliar frown Yes there's something different about him now He's painted his smile on upside down
