| Half the street was now in the shade |
| Someone said they’d left the parade |
| Tony had come back from the strand |
| Waiting for the Barrack Street band |
| I tried to avoid all the songs |
| But the last time I just caved in |
| And now that I’ve been through it all |
| I’ve decided to live with them |
| Oh no no, chasing the li-lo |
| Wish I was Tony Cochrane |
| All the circus posters were gone |
| Band was playing through the last songs |
| This is where they stood on the day |
| Wonder did they feel the same way |
| But I have got this sinking feeling |
| That I won’t have it always |
| A someday scary sinking feeling |
| That I might slip and fall |
| I tried to avoid all the songs |
| But the last time I justc aved in |
| And now that I’ve been throught it all |
| I’ve decided to live with them |
