Everybody's clown
Lucifer’s Friend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you say I'm looking pale as fever
All you want to do is groan
But now I say I'm glad you're on your own
The summer's been and gone again
I don't know where and I don't care where I'm going
You tried so hard to bring me down
Stop the world I need a little time right now
In my head I'm so confused
Busy little people in their big machine
Haven't got the time to feel abused
It's not that I'm the restless kind
But now I've go to satisfy my mind
I haven't got a thing to lose
And anyway I've got no time to choose
Summer's been and gone again
I don't know where
And I don't care where I'm going
When you see me at the break of dawn
Pull yourself together till I'm gone
Everybody's clown, everybody's clown

I got to find a good time train
I need to find something to bring joy and happiness into my life
I know you say I'm looking pale as fever
You see that I am not doing well and are concerned for me
All you want to do is groan
You are only focused on your own negativity and complaints
But now I say I'm glad you're on your own
I am happy that I am not tied down to your negative attitude and can pursue my happiness alone
The summer's been and gone again
Another season has passed and time keeps moving forward
I don't know where and I don't care where I'm going
I have no clear direction, but I am not burdened by that fact
You tried so hard to bring me down
You have attempted to negatively influence me in the past
But I'm not simply everybody's clown
I am not someone who can be easily manipulated or controlled
Stop the world I need a little time right now
I need to take a break from the chaos around me and find some peace
In my head I'm so confused
I am currently feeling uncertain and overwhelmed in my mind
Busy little people in their big machine
The people around me are caught up in the daily grind of life
Haven't got the time to feel abused
They are too busy with their own struggles to worry about causing harm to others
It's not that I'm the restless kind
My desire for change is not due to a lack of contentment with my current situation
But now I've got to satisfy my mind
I need to do what is necessary to make myself happy and fulfilled
I haven't got a thing to lose
I have no reason not to take risks and pursue my happiness
And anyway I've got no time to choose
I need to act quickly to find happiness because time is fleeting
When you see me at the break of dawn
You may catch a glimpse of me early in the morning
Pull yourself together till I'm gone
You should gather yourself and improve your own mood before interacting with me
Everybody's clown, everybody's clown
I refuse to be a source of entertainment or a puppet for others to manipulate

Сильнейшие рокеры супер группа джон лоутон память на века
Robert Lattin
JohnLawton's excellent vocals notwithstanding, the band is better than most hard rock bands of the era, and in spite of them being a German band.
Robert McPherson
Not "in spite of" but maybe *because they were German. Ahem, Triumvirät, The Scorpions, etc...
