lyrics

Circus

I should have known from the start
This would end in disgrace
But I wanted to touch, I wanted to taste
I wanted more and more and more of his warm embrace
He had an impeccable face
And oozed charisma
Walked the walk, talked the talk
Made me feel like a star
I soaked it up and I craved more

Oooo it’s like a circus in here
And you’ve been playing the clown
You’ve been a bad, bad boy
Too much fooling around

As I lay across silk sheets
Dripped with desire for his lust
I wasn’t sure if this was love
Or was it illegitimate
I knew I couldn’t get enough
I wanted all you had to give
You seemed to give it all to me
Made me laugh, made me smile
Made me think it was worth while
I thought that we was meant to be

Oooo it’s like a circus in here
And you’ve been playing the clown
You’ve been a bad, bad boy
Too much fooling around

Another night another hotel
I take a shower all alone
Your wallet open on the floor
A photo I just can’t ignore
I should have known long before
Oh just look at your wife
Oh your beautiful wife
Who just wanted a life
With you by her side
You messed up to many times

Oooo it’s like a circus in here
And you’ve been playing the clown
You’ve been a bad, bad boy
Too much fooling around
You’ve been walking this type rope
For too long now
Your world is gonna come
Its gonna come crashing down

about

Late Night Marauders image

Late Night Marauders Hull, UK

"Late Night Marauders are led by whirlwind soulstress Ruthie Scott and the piano wizardry of James Wood. Raised on a steady diet of classic RnB and jazz standards Ruth's songs evoke visions of smokey basement clubs in the 1950's where beatniks and jazzheads would party. Late Night Marauders present a unique blend of soul, R'n'B and boogie which is an irrepressible delight.
