Weekend Playlist: Circus

Weekend Playlist: Circus

Here's the weekend playlist created by Lyricslinger with help from guest curator Leigh looking at X/twitter selections (28/03/2025) with Songs that reference anything at a circus.
This was inspired by Erasure's release of their second studio album "The Circus" which included one of their biggest hits, "Sometimes" on 30/03/1987.
