Graham Parker - England's Latest Clown lyrics

England's Latest Clown His cultural importance Hasn't been determined yet Or whether he's a candidate To join the jet set They locked him up in pentonville to make him fall But he came out standing straight and tall They tried to steal his socks but he hung on to them They were transparent you could see right through them England's latest clown England's latest clown England's latest clown Well i ask you How long will he wear that crown He's got a little habit man And that can never hurt And front teeth like a rabbit And blood stains on his shirt They threw him into wandsworth for a month of penance He nearly got molested by the other tenants But he came out looking handsome with a ton of pride With muscles on his muscles and kate moss by his side England's latest clown England's latest clown England's latest clown We want him in the army It'll be the scoop of scoops Acting kinda barmy Performing for the troops We wanna to see him strung out we wanna see him thin We wanna see somebody dig a hole and bury him We wanna see him overdose we want the story grim We wish that he was dead already and we wish we were Him England's latest clown England's latest clown England's latest clown
