Like Clockwork Lyrics by The Moviegoers

As You Were

1994

She looked a little upset that night
But she said that it was nothing at all
I was a little concerned about
That uncertain smile that I saw
In the morning I went downstairs
To find a note taped to the door
It said I've run off to join the circus
And I won't be back anymore
Just like Clockwork
There she goes again
Running off to find herself
Or at least pretend
That night I came home from work
To find her curled up by the fire
I put my arm around her, she sighed
I just didn't like the high wire
Just after the morning coffee
She slipped out through the back door
She didn't even leave a note this time
Just an old clown nose on the floor
Just like Clockwork
There she goes again
Running off to find herself
Will it ever end
She lives her life by no clock
And I'm as constant as a spinning top
She lives her life by no clock
And I'm as constant as a spinning top
Next morning I went to the circus
To find what could have had this allure
I ended up in the elephant stall
Shovelling out the manure
Just like Clockwork
Oh but now I'm following to
Running off to find ourselves
Don't laugh it could have happened to you
There she goes again
There she goes again
