Met de Roel Janssenlijst van LP’s van 1968 zijn we toe aan
Maart
- Miracle mirror – Golden Earrings
- We’re only in it for the money – Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
- Song of a seaugull – Joni Mitchell
Van die lp van de Golden Earrings, zoals ze toen nog heetten, kies ik een nummer dat ik ken van Bojoura (niet te vinden op YT – blijkbaar was het de singleversie van deze LP-track). Op dat circus kom ik nog terug.
Listen to what I try to tell you
You know, it’s hard to say, it’s hard
I’m going now to other places
Yes it’s time that we will part
Oh, believe me, I can’t stay longer
Oh I’m sorry for I see you feel pain
Maybe for you today it’s raining
But your love won’t be in vain
The horses, they’re so impatient
And the clowns’ wives are chattering in between
The variegated wagons, the sword swallower
Are all borne in the same magic scene
Oh believe me, I can’t stay no longer
Oh I’m sorry for I see you feel pain
And maybe for you today it’s raining
But your love won’t be in vain
Refrein:
Circus will be in town in time (3x)
Circus is waiting for departure time
Oh, baby, you know, I’ve got something to explain
The many countries I have seen
For five days, a fortnight, sometimes longer
And it seems, oh it seems, oh it seems
It’s all a cosy company
And I do it only, only, only, only through
Oh, it’s working hard for your money
Refrein
Circus will be in town in time
