The Circus Lyrics - The Circus - Erasure

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 

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 

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

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 

There was once a future 

For a working man 

There was once a lifetime 

For a skillful hand 

Yesterday 

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

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 

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 

Tempers fray so easily 

In desperate despair 

Is there anyone who cares? 

Just another tragedy 

Just a personal affair 

In a room somewhere 

There was once a future 

For a working man 

There was once a lifetime 

For a skillful hand 

Yesterday 

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 (broken dream) 

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream 

Of a broken, of a broken dream 

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream (broken dream) 

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
