Irish Selection 1980:
Eileen Reid - "The Saddest Show On Earth"

The Saddest Show On Earth

Roll up and see the show I'm giving for free
No tickets are needed to watch this heart breaking on me
How you lied, put my pride deep inside, I thought we could make it
I've tried to forget all the good times we've had, you and me

Oh, I want to die
Forgot how to cry
Just let me be
And soon, I'll be free
Like autumn when leaves
Shake loose from the trees
I'll be carried away where no troubles will ever catch me

Roll up and see the show, I'm begging you, please
Take this girl's advice: stay away from the birds and the bees
It's not fair not to care or to share in beautiful moments
The show comes to a close, I still love you, but nobody knows

Oh, I want to die
Forgot how to cry
Just let me be
And soon, I'll be free
Like autumn when leaves
Shake loose from the trees
I'll be carried away where no troubles will ever catch me

Roll up and see the show I'm giving for free
No tickets are needed to watch this heart breaking on me
It's not fair not to care or to share in beautiful moments
The show comes to а close, I still love you, but nobody knowѕ
