The Human League — Circus of Death Fast Version

[Intro, spoken] This is a song called "Circus Of Death.” It tells the true story of a circus we met. The first two verses concern the actual arrival at Heathrow Airport of Commissioner Steve McGarrett. The third emotionally describes a map showing the range of the circus. The fourth and fifth were extracted from an article in the Guardian of March the 19th, 1962. The last is a shortwave radio message from the last man on Earth [Verse 1] Nine o'clock flight from Hawaii The Trident is just touching down We're waiting hеre on the tarmac McGarrett is wеaring a frown [Verse 2] He's here to help with a problem A blood-spattered curse on our land Please cast your eye over this map, sir This business is quite out of hand [Verse 3] The circus of death is approaching It's pathway is painted in red Before it the frightened and helpless Behind it a trail of the dead [Verse 4] The narcotic that forges their union Is a substance known only to one To the clown it is known as "Dominion" It's a secret that he'll give to none [Verse 5] The drug which gives the clown power Means the circus can never be stopped And his dream can go on unhindered Till the last human being has dropped [Verse 6] Spare me and my family I've done you no wrong Go away, please let us be I've known you for too long
