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
