[Lyrics]

There's a sinister game the children play
Hey, hey, hey, hey
When they get to the end of each school day
Hey, hey, hey, hey

They spend their lives getting ready for the kill...
(aaah)

Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back...

Who remembers the names of fallen heroes?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Who remembers today to fly their flags?
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I couldn't say I loved ya like I did before...
(nahh)

Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
It's a laughing attack
The joker is back
He's wild in the pack
The joker is back

(laughing in the hiding in the kicking in the bush, yeah)

Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush
He's wild in the pack
(la, la)
Laughing in the hiding bush
The joker is back...
(laughs)

''Laughing In The Hiding Bush'' is a song from Bruce Dickinson's second solo album, Balls to Picasso,and it is dedicated to Bruce Dickinson's son: Austin. According to Bruce, when his son was a child he said he was "Laughing in the Hiding Bush" instead of "Hiding in the Laughing Bush". The "Laughing Bush" was a nickname for a bush in their home.

''Balls to Picasso'' is a Hard rock album released in 1994 and is the second effort in Bruce Dickinson's solo career. The ballad "Tears of the Dragon" stayed for many months on top the of charts in countries like Brazil where Dickinson has a large fanbase.
This record marked the beginning of Dickinson's collaborations with Roy Z, who would work on many of Dickinson's later albums including Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny of Souls. Stylistically it departs from Tattooed Millionaire but is still more traditional-sounding than the follow-up album Skunkworks released in 1996. Later, Dickinson said that he and Roy Z were talked into making the album less heavy than it should have been.

Dickinson started working on his second solo album while still in Iron Maiden. For the very first recording sessions he recruited the british band Skin. Not satisfied with the style of the effort, Dickinson aborted the recording. His next attempt at a second solo album was a collaboration with producer Keith Olsen. Dickinson decided to scrap this project as well and teamed up with guitarist Roy Z and his band Tribe Of Gypsies to write and record Balls To Picasso. Songs from the previous recording sessions later resurfaced as b-sides on singles from Balls To Picasso and subsequently also as bonus tracks on the album's 2005 extended edition.
