Smiths - Marie's The Name (His Latest Flame) lyrics

rate me

Very old friend <br />

Came by today <br />

As he was telling everyone in town <br />

Of all the love that he'd just found <br />

<br />

And Marie's the name (of his latest flame) <br />

<br />

<br />

Talked and talked <br />

And I heard him say <br />

That she had the longest blackest hair <br />

Prettiest green eyes anywhere <br />

<br />

<br />

And Marie's the name (of his latest flame) <br />

<br />

<br />

The last night of the fair <br />

By the big wheel generator <br />

A boy is stabbed <br />

His money is grabbed <br />

And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine <br />

<br />

<br />

She is Famous <br />

She is Funny <br />

An engagement ring <br />

Doesn't mean a thing <br />

To a mind consumed by brass (money), oh <br />

<br />

<br />

The last night of the fair <br />

From a seat on a whirling waltzer <br />

Her skirt ascends for a watching eye <br />

It's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)<br />

From a seat on a whirling waltzer <br />

Her skirt ascends for a watching eye <br />

A hideous trait (on her mother's side) <br />

<br />

<br />

Then someone falls in love <br />

Someone's beaten up <br />

Someone's beaten up <br />

And the senses being dulled are mine <br />

And someone falls in love <br />

Someone's beaten up <br />

And the senses being dulled are mine <br />

<br />

<br />

This is the last night of the fair <br />

And the grease in the hair <br />

Of a speedway operator <br />

Is all a tremulous heart requires <br />

A schoolgirl is denied <br />

She said : "How quickly would I die <br />

If I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"<br />

<br />

<br />

This is the last night of the fair <br />

And the grease in the hair <br />

Of a speedway operator <br />

Is all a tremulous heart requires <br />

A schoolgirl is denied <br />

She said : "How quickly would I die <br />

Oh, if I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"<br />

<br />

<br />

...Oh, walk home alone <br />

I might walk home alone <br />

But my faith in love is still devout <br />

I might walk home alone <br />

But my faith in love is still devout <br />

I might walk home alone <br />

But my faith in love is still devout
