The Night He Took Her To The Fairground Lyrics

Her glasses fell on the grass

They were reflected in the lens

Though short-sighted she knew

That they could never be friends

And as he pulled her down

She threw off his new suede shoes

He didn't carry protection and

She'd just blown a fuse

She laughed but it wasn't at him

She called him a crazy fool

Well she'd broken all of her promise

And he'd broken her golden rule

They kissed but their eyes were closed

And she said ain't love blind

Well she put his scarf round her eyes

But the attachment was just a bind

The tunnel was out of love

The waltzer made no sound

The ghost train was on fire, on fire

And the merry go went round and round

The roller coasted on

As they went up and down

It was the night that he took her to the fairground

It was the night that he took her to the fairground

She ran away so fast

Like water down a drain

Well they met and they tried to pretend that

They were strangers on a train

Well she poisoned him with words

Well he tried to spit them out

Well he thought it was all absurd

You know that he had got no doubt

You know she was bending him out of shape

Well just like plastic warps

He was an actor in her play but he was

Just beginning to corpse

They molded together well

Her hand fit into his glove

And they were making up this story while

While they were making love

Yeah the tunnel was out of love

The waltzer made no sound

The ghost train was on fire, on fire

And the merry go went round and round

The roller coasted on

And they went up and down

It was the night that he took her to the fairground

It was the night that he took her to the fairground
