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 />

<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 />

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 />

So ... scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen <br />
(This means you really love me) <br />

Oh ... <br />

I just might walk home alone <br />
