This song is basically Jon ripping on himself for all the lies he used to tell the press. In the early days they were too lazy to tell the truth and made up loads of stories to see if they would get printed. But it ended up being really difficult to keep track of, what they had said. There was once a story about the three of them meeting while working at a travelling fair, and Mince being a lion-tamer, which is probably where the fairground bit comes from.
