I didn't like that song at first, from my vinyl copy of Taking Liberties, but when Ryko released the expanded version of Armed Forces, and it was back in its rightful place in the running order, it kind of grew on me.

 Nice one. We need a thread about songs influenced by circus music. "The Show Must Go On" comes to mind ...

"Mr Kite" is in there ... "Tears Of A Clown" ...
The Idle Race's "On With The Show" might qualify, but that just ends with circus music, it's not the bed of the whole song.

"Goodbye Cruel World"--James Darren
"Sideshow"--Blue Magic
Both quote a little bit of that circusy music.

Sebrina, Paste & Plato by Jellyfish has a circusy feel to it.
A couple more Elvis tunes that sit between oompah band and circus music:
Peace In Our Time
Couldn't Call It Unexpected #4

So, is this where I vote for my Top 5 Elvis Costello songs? You had me going there, for a minute.  Linda wrote: We need a thread about songs influenced by circus music. "The Show Must Go On" comes to mind ... "I Want out of the Circus" by Cracker

The whole "Circus" album by Argent-a concept album about a circus and the circus workers like "The Jester"! Also, there's King Crimson's "Lizard" album with the demented song "Circus".
I also don't get the whole Elvis Costello thing-he has a song called "Sunday's Best" and...

"Broken Arrow" by Buffalo Springfield has a circus riff between a couple verses.
"Grand Illusion" by Styx has a certain sideshow hawker inspiration, if not actual circus music.
"Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends" (or whatever the actual title is) by ELP.
"Wild Billy's Circus Song" by Bruce Springsteen.

"Dave the Butcher" by Tom Waits. (You could probably come up with a couple dozen by Waits.)

"Beanum and Barley" by Eric Von Schmidt from 1969 Mercury/Smash LP "Who Knocked the Brains Out Of the Sky". A song about a circus, brimming with caliope and circus atomsphere....

Oh, and one more, "The Circus Song" (a cover) by Jim Kweskin's Jug Band from 1967 Reprise LP "Garden Of Joy".
