lyrics

What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown
Because a lifetime banging your head on bricks leaves a frown
it's not who I am but's it's just what I'll never be
Those answers are found within pointless hours of tv

Now What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown
It takes an age to sail through your pitiless sea of know how
Like a cowboy of reckless advance
you leave a fat lot of nothing to chance
What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown

What it means in the grand scheme of things I don't know
But sure the time it takes the girl to get out of bed it's so slow
She says
Fold out the couch don't be lazy
Let's try for another baby

What are your aims
What are your aims
What are your aims
What are your aims

But the thing is I can't help you
with the things that you've grown up with
What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown

I've been trying to remember it all
was the feeling of feeling so mall
Truancy

I've been trying to remember it all
was the feeling of feeling so mall
Truancy

What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown
Because a lifetime banging your head on bricks leaves a frown
it's not who I am but's it's just what I'll never be
Those answers are found within pointless hours of tv

Now What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown
It takes an age to sail through your pitiless sea of know how
Like a cowboy of reckless advance
you leave a fat lot of nothing to chance
What I want to be when I finally grow up is a clown
