Lyrics for Oh What A Circus by Madonna:
| | | Artist: | Madonna |
| | Album: | Evita | | Track: | Oh What A Circus | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 80 | | | | Lyrics: | Che:)
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death
of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all
night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit, that's
how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva
Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the
front page of all the world's papers today
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this
howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get
by without her?
She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was
the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon
as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for
years
(Crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes
nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes
et flentes
O clemens o pia
Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy
Our life, sweetness, and
hope
Hail, hail, oh queen
To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve
To you we sigh,
mourning and weeping
Oh clement, oh loving one
(Che:)
You let down your
people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to
ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools, but you got it
wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is
through
And she's not coming back to you
Show business kept us all alive
Since
seventeen October 1945
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad
state for a state to be in
Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas, a
prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much, but she said
it loud
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't
got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to
you
(Crowd:)
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes
nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus
gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
(Eva:)
Don't cry for me
Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we
all are, I think we all are
So share my glory, so share my coffin
So share my glory, so
share my coffin
(Che:)
It's our funeral too | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
