Sorry to throw two songs up in one day, but I'm really curious what people think about this song as well. As always I have a youtube video of me performing it : http://youtu.be/MrTDQWNgsHkwe are the weird crew we've gathered here for you we're in our finest rags brightly coloured sequin bags turning tricks on the avenue waiting for the circus to roll through the line starts there maria fix your hair they're painting faces on the lawn while the ticket taker's gone you could watch this town die in front of you waiting for the circus to roll through i saw them all in line pretty faces frozen in time and in amongst the freaks between the vaudevillian antiques i thought i caught a glimpse of you waiting for the circus to roll through i remember the night you took the stage the way the colour it fled from your face so you powdered your skin white and ran off into the night and found a place where nobody knew you and waited for the circus to roll through the ladies all had knots in their hair and the men's suits were all in disrepair but you should've seen those tramps light up every time their turn came up and they'd a chance to show us all what they could do waiting for the circus to roll through we are the weird crew i've been waiting here like all of you and when our time arrives to tumble and dive i'll be running off with all of you waiting for the circus to roll through waiting for the circus to roll through Cheers.

You have a nice, descriptive song here, full of circus images and smells. With a good song like this, you should shorten the intro and get right to the meat.

I understand what you're saying here.
I generally perform this song as the final song in a set, so I guess Ive just become used to sort of easing into it.
