Fairlies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kindness is a trick to turn you strange
Until you're twisted and you're shining like a varicose vein
Anger makes you weak and turns you sick
And gets you in the six feet nice and quick
[Chorus]
No fair, they can talk to me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy, where I like to be
I can live alone, alone, alone, alone
I fought for the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
[Verse 2]
Fairies get their fingers and they spin your wheel
And they make you look at sunshinе that your skin will never feel
Baby, do you miss the days bеfore
Hope knocked on your door?
But you went and fell in love
And into you, love fell
And it made you feel unwell
Oh, well
[Verse 3]
There's a thing 'bout people I suppose is alright
It's when they smile right at their pain through all the day and night
The fool dies at the altar in a smile
Says, "I'm moving to America
You won't see me for a while"
If I get the ferry over, will the fairies follow me?
Will they throw me to the sea?
We'll see
[Chorus]
No fair, they can follow me
I can live alone
I can live alone
Happy, where I like to be
I can live alone, alone, alone, alone
I fought for the right to be
I can live alone
I can live alone
[Outro]
When the devil takes your soul, he does not care
If you're shot down like a dog or expired on the stairs
The boat is drifting in, the weight is cast
How can life go so slowly and death come so fast?
Across the River Styx, l'lI row along
But l've got one more song
More song
More song
More song

I wrote ‘Fairlies’ in intense heat. Partly in Jerez, Spain, partly in LA a couple of days before a Fontaines D.C. tour kicked off. It was a quick write, and I believe I celebrated each line with a beer.

What have the artists said about the song?
After Madrid, we went down to a town called Jerez, which was the birthplace of flamenco, I believe. We were going to go out to get a beer or something, myself and my fiancée. She was getting ready and I wrote that tune. There’s loads of bootleg recordings of The La’s, and I think they really affecte...
