“Clown” is the fifth and final single from Emeli Sandé’s album Our Version of Events. A soulful track, “Clown” sees Sandé compare her attempts to get signed to being a clown, as she said to Promonews:
I was going for all these meetings and people were looking at me like “What do we do with you?”
T...
[Verse 1]
I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
'Cause from over here I missed the joke
Clear the way for my crash landing
I've done it again, another number for your notes
[Verse 2]
I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out how I can move from the back of the line
[Chorus]
I'll be your clown, behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh, 'cause it's funny
I would too, if I saw me
I'll be your clown, on your favourite channel
My life's a circus-circus, 'round in circles
Selling out tonight
[Verse 3]
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition
I'll have time for please, I'll have time for thank you as soon as I win
[Chorus]
I'll be your clown, behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh, 'cause it's funny
I would too, if I saw me
I'll be your clown, on your favourite channel
My life's a circus-circus, 'round in circles
Selling out tonight
[Bridge]
From a distance, my choice is simple
From a distance, I can entertain
So you can see me, I put makeup on my face
But there's no way you can feel it, from so far away
[Chorus]
I'll be your clown, behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh, 'cause it's funny
I would too, if I saw me
I'll be your clown, on your favourite channel
My life's a circus-circus, 'round in circles
I'm selling out tonight
Clown was written by Emeli Sandé & Naughty Boy & Grant Mitchell.
Clown was produced by Naughty Boy.
Emeli Sandé released Clown on Fri Feb 10 2012.
I was going for all these meetings and people were looking at me like “What do we do with you?” [“Clown”] is about not allowing yourself to be judged by others or to be taken for an idiot. I feel the video reflects that.
