The last night of the fair <br />

By the big wheel generator <br />

A boy is stabbed <br />

And his money is grabbed <br />

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

<br />

<br />

And though I walk home alone <br />

I might walk home alone ...<br />

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

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

<br />

<br />

And though I walk home alone <br />

I might walk home alone ... <br />

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

<br />

<br />

Then someone falls in love <br />

And someone's beaten up <br />

Someone's beaten up <br />

And the senses being dulled are mine <br />

And someone falls in love <br />

And someone's beaten up <br />

And the senses being dulled are mine <br />

<br />

<br />

And though I walk home alone <br />

I might walk home alone ...<br />

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

La ... <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 />

La ... <br />

<br />

<br />

So ... scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen <br />

(This means you really love me) <br />

Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen <br />

(This means you really love me) <br />

Oh ... <br />

<br />

<br />

And though I walk home alone <br />

I just 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 <br />

La ...
