Irish singer #MaryBlack singing #FifiTheFlea, also by The Hollies I think. 2011.

Fifi the flea fell in love with a clown from a flea circus fair
She gave him her heart but he still couldn't see
That for such a long time she had cared
He put himself 'round all the other girl fleas
Unaware that he hurt her so badly
She cried in the arms of his manager friend
And declared that she loved the clown madly

Better keep your distance from this whale Better keep your boat from going astray

You dream of Columbus With your maps and your beautiful charts You dream of Columbus With an ache in your travelling heart

Now I’m looking through a tunnel Back into the room With the genius of a druid when the sunlight floods the tomb And I’m never going back there, and I couldn’t anyway ‘cause though I made the great escape I never got away.
