Clown
Status Quo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now don't you feel sorry, oh no, for me now
There's no need to worry about a clown
She played it cool made me a fool
Now all over town they call me the clown

And I really thought she loved me, but now, I know
And I still can't believe, it just goes to show
She played it cool made me a fool
Now all over town they call me the clown

I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me
I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I've got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me

Now don't you feel sorry, oh no, for me now
There's no need to worry about a clown
She played it cool made me a fool
Now all over town they call me the clown

I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me
I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I've got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me





I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I got nothing.....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Status Quo's song "The Clown" depict a man who has been deceived and made a fool by a woman who he believed loved him. The man is now known all over town as "the clown" because of the way he has been humiliated by the woman. He tells the listener not to feel sorry for him or worry about him, but it's clear that he is hurting and embarrassed by how he has been treated.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a clown, and they're laughing" multiple times. This line reflects how the man has been reduced to a laughingstock because of his vulnerability and trust in the woman. Despite the pain he is experiencing, the man acknowledges that he has nothing and accepts his fate as a clown. The song is a poignant commentary on the power dynamics and emotional complexities of relationships.
