Erasure – The Circus Live Lyrics  Share

From Erasure's album: The Two Ring Circus

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
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream
Of a broken, of a broken dream
