Sideshow Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

I have seen the streets and alleyways 

Of a million faceless towns 

The camera comes, the camera goes 

Filming our blues for the late night news 

We gather round 

Never searching for our innocence 

Our faith, our truth, our love 

They're only there when things go wrong 

Filming our blues for the late night news 

We gather round 

Show us peace and understanding 

Brother love for fellow man 

Cure us, we are sick from violence 

In your sideshow of life 

Impartiality is like 

A coin they have to spend 

The currency of the chosen few 

They place their bets 

Switch on your sets 

There's world disasters by the minute 

They tell us on the hour 

And when we think we've paid our dues 

They've filmed our blues for the late night news 

We gather round 

Show us peace and understanding 

Brother love for fellow man 

Cure us, we are sick from violence 

In your sideshow of life 

Sideshow of life 

When it's late at night and you're all alone 

With the one you love 

Turn on the late night news and cry 

Tears for all the lost and lonely people 

Innocents in prime time 

(Tragedies) of our life 

(Tragedies) of our life 

(Tragedies) of our life
