Biography:
The Cousins were a Belgian rock & roll group of the late fifties and early sixties who were among the first to successfully export "rock & roll" music from Belgium. They played Shadows-like music and also had a stage act which resembled that of The Shadows.
Started off at the end of the fifties as "La Jeune Equipe", their main occupation was playing at the birthday parties of the rich and noble. They changed their name to "Les Cousins" when they were asked to perform in a club with the same name on the 14th of July (French fête nationale).

[Intro]
Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am Em Em
Up on stage he stands bathed in the spotlight.
Am Em Em
He's been there so many times before.
Am Em Em
His heart, it pounds like a drumbeat
F Em
but he always comes back for more.
[Verse 2]
Am Em Em
And the crowd, they all come to chuckle.
Am Em Em
He makes them laugh until they cry.
Am Em Em
But for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction
F Em
and tonight somebody's gonna die.
[Chorus 1]
Am Em
'Cause he's a clown; he's crying on the inside.
Am Em
He's a clown; he's lonely and afraid.
Am Em
He's a clown; he's crying on the inside.
F Em
He's a clown with one foot in the grave.
[Instrumental]
Am Em
[Verse 3]
Am Em Em
They all stood and cheered as he ended.
Am Em Em
His fake smile masking his fake face.
Am Em Em
He takes a bow and he makes a big exit
F Em
unaware they'll never see him again.
[Verse 4]
Am Em Em
Back at home the bullets sit waiting;
Am Em Em
the empty chamber, it calls out his name.
Am Em Em
Pull the trigger. A flash and explosion,
F Em
and the crowd is ending his pain.
[Chorus 2]
Am Em
He's a clown, he's crying on the inside.
Am Em
He's a clown, he's lonely and afraid.
Am Em
He's a clown, he's crying on the inside.
F Em
He's a clown, he's a clown, he's a clown.
