The Night He Took Her To The Fairground

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
