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.

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
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
