The Night He Took Her To The Fairground Songtext
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
