STAR CIRCUS - Times Get Tough (Live at Camden Records)

'Times Get Tough' is the 5th official Star Circus single, leading up to the release of our debut album 'Separate Sides' on 2nd December 2022. However, we decided to do something a bit different this time. None of the recordings on 'Separate Sides' feature the current lineup of the band (though both Sophie and William play on various tracks). So we thought it would be fun to do an entirely new recording of 'Times Get Tough' - totally live... at Camden Records recording studio in London... with cameras filming us!

Search for the secret potion Knock one back, crank it up, light the fire inside Let’s set the wheels in motion (it goes all the way down) We got to fly through the heart of this town You gotta give more than you take Everybody here deserves a piece of the cake And too much is never enough Cause you got to have a party When times get tough Times get rough Times get tough And you give and you take And you move and you shake, get it on! And you give more than you take Everybody here deserves a piece of the cake And too much is never enough Cause you got to have a party Well you give more than you take Everybody in the house deserves a piece of the cake And too much is never enough Cause you got to have a party, a party! When times get When times get When times get... tough! Copyright: all rights reserved - Diamond Formation Music https://www.starcircus.co.uk
