This song written by Gerry Rafferty was inspired by the hilarious comedian Billy Connolly, they were in a band together called the Humblebums, and this song is what it was like to be on stage with Billy, and trying to perform while he was making him laugh.
Being on stage he couldn't just ignore it.
"I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you."
"It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,"

When you think bout it, it makes sense.
