tears of a clown

• udo'nun sesinden dinlenebilen pek hoş bir şarkıdır.
  
  sözleri de şöyle;
  
  all his life he did his best for all
  and the crown of laughter
  hanging low
  the spotlight in the ring,
  the choruses that sing
  the paint and masquerade
  was just a show
  
  the clown - the clown
  happiness around
  just a soul lonely in the crowd
  the clown - the clown
  his heart is all alone
  no one wants the tears of a clown
  
  the living of the glory and applause
  the circus tent,
  the only home he knows
  the cover-up is bold,
  the mask becoming cold
  ıt's easier to let the eyelids close
  
  the clown, ...
  
  the final curtain falls for all to see
  the final score, the circus melody
  his star that shone so bright,
  gave comfort in the night
  the light that always held him
  set him free
  
  the clown, ...
• albümü ilk dinleyişim. şarkıları tanımaya çalışıyorum, alttan alttan dinliyorum. bir şarkı başladı ama böyle hiç iron maidendeğil, dedim listeye başka bir şey atmışım n'oluyor.
  öyle bir iron maiden şarkısı işte.
• bruce dickinson'ın açıklamasına göre robin williams'a adanan iron maiden şarkısıdır. the book of souls albümünde yer alacak olup adrian smith ve steve harris tarafından yazılmıştır.
• kesinlikle the book of souls un bombalarından biri. bruce dickinson ın albümde en sevdiği şarkı.
• sözleri de geldi taze taze;
  
  all alone in a crowded room
  he tries to force a smile
  the smile it beamed or so it seemed
  but never reached the eyes, disguise
  masquerading as the funny man do they despise
  
  the false smile maketh of the man
  glass empty or half full
  try to make some sense or sorrows drown
  all looks well on the outside
  underneath the solemn truth
  there’s something that inside has died
  tomorrow comes tomorrow goes
  but the cloud remains the same
  wonder why he’s feeling down
  tears of a clown
  maybe it’s all just for the best
  lay his weary head to rest
  was forever feeling drowned
  tears of a clown
  
  who motivates the motivator
  facade it has to go
  he knows it sooner or later
  smile for cameras all ok
  but tomorrow is another day he must get through
  
  he had a longer way to run
  or so the story goes
  life full of fun where did it go
  we saw the sadness in his eyes
  it came as no surprise
  and now of course we’ll never know
  tomorrow comes tomorrow goes
  but the cloud remains the same
  wonder why he’s feeling down
  tears of a clown
  maybe it’s all just for the best
  lay his weary head to rest
  was forever feeling drowned
  tears of a clown
  
  tomorrow comes tomorrow goes
  but the cloud remains the same
  wonder why he’s feeling down
  tears of a clown
  maybe it’s all just for the best
  lay his weary head to rest
  was forever feeling down
  tears of a clown
  tears of a clown...
• the book of souls'un bana göre en iyi şarkısı. robin williams'a ithaf edilmiş şaheser.
• aynı zamanda harikulade bir udo dirkschneider ağıtı. udo'nun o içli sesiyle gönül telimizi titreten nadide bir eser. adeta bir köşede keşfedilmeyi bekleyen hazine. bulun buluşturun ve bu şarkıyı dinlemeden ölmeyin!
• underrated masterpiece
