Here we have a double first. It’s the first “Single” by our fictional girl band the chiX… and it’s the first song by us at Storynory.
In the story (Gladys and the Eurovision Song Contest) this song is written by Gladys, the chiX younger sister, and sung by Laura with backing vocals by Mandy and Sam.
Save the song on your iPod – send it to all your friends !

Lyrics: Bertie
You taught me to fly and to swoop to your arms;
And though I soared high I came to no harm;
You sawed me in half and you pulled me apart
And though I really laughed, you had broken my heart,
You stood me quite still and you threw straight your knives
And though you didn’t kill, you used eight of my lives,
You rattled my cage and you cracked your whip
And though I really raged, I only bit my lip.
Chorus x 2
Our dream is
A circus
Run away
Live for the day
Our life’s
A circus
Ups and downs
round and round
You set up a hoop, and I jumped through the fire,
And though you were cool, you lit up my desire
You stretched a high wire, and you made me walk the walk,
And though said you were a flyer, It was only ticks and talk.
Chorus x 2
Our dream is
A circus
Run away
Live for the day
Our life is
A circus
Ups and downs
round and round
Bridge—
We made a pact
We’re a double act
A high wire flier
with a belly full of fire
A big attraction
with plenty of action
A spectacular show
With no net below
[Guitar Solo]
Our dream
is a a circus
Run away,
live for the day
Our life,
is a circus
ups and downs
round and round
Our dream
is a a circus
Run away,
live for the day
Our life,
is a circus
ups and downs
round and round
Our way is a circus
Thrills and spills,
looks that kill
Our love
is a circus
yes we fight, but it’s right on the night
Our way is a circus
Thrills and spills,
looks that kill
Our love a is
A circus
yes we fight
But it’s alright on the night

Gladys has three sisters who are in a girl band called the chiX. But Gladys isn't in the band because she's too young, and she's "too Geeky". But it's Gladys who is the brains behind the band.
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well,not the kissy prissy kind,but you get the idea.

Good luck with the band and let us know how you get on.
Cool! Thanks!
Angie, I have replied on another post – I can’t remember which one. Yes, so long as the band is playing to your school, your friends, go ahead. If you hit the big time – then we can strike a deal ! If you do post anything on the net, a link back to Storynory’s chix would be great.
Hey Bertie. I know I asked before but my friends and I want to start a band and can we please use the lyrics? We’ve already got a different tune and everything! Please?
I liked the bridge and verses but the chorus was kinna weird maybe just the way it was sang but it was pretty good.
p.s. I’m a musician and I sing so this was super kewl
