Smiths - Marie's The Name / Rusholme Ruffians 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
