Graham Parker — Anything for a Laugh lyrics

Lyrics

I walk along a lonely path
Spotlight in my eye
Try to make the people laugh
Instead of cry
I hang myself out on the edge
For the world to see
Let them know this funny guy
Is really me And anything for a good time
I’ve always taken that path
Anything for a good time
Anything for a laugh
I ride the Greyhounds across the state
A show in every town
I’m not that bad, I’m not that great
I’m just your average clown
People think that’s my nature
That’s how I want to be But I wonder if it’s just a Shield in front of me And anything for a good time
I’ve always taken that path
Anything for a good time
Anything for a laugh
So take a seat there’s plenty spare
Fill a gaping hole
That’s what I do every night
Somewhere in my soul
And anything for a good time
I’ve always taken that path
Anything for a good time
Anything for a laugh
