The Night He Took Her to the Fairground (Studio)

[Verse 1]
Her glasses fell on the grass
They were reflected in the lens
Well, though short-sighted she knew
That they could never be friends
And as he pulled her down
She threw off his new suede shoes
Well, he didn't carry protection and
She'd just blown a fuse

[Verse 2]
She laughed but it wasn't at him
She called him a crazy fool
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 pulled his scarf round her eyes
But the attachment, it was just a bind

[Chorus]
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
As they went up and down
It was the night he took her to the fairground
It was the night he took her to the fairground

[Verse 3]
She ran away so fast
Like water down a drain
They met and they tried to pretend
They were strangers on a train
He poisoned her with words
She tried to spit them out
She thought it was all absurd
And he had got no doubt

[Verse 4]
She was bending him out of shape
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 they were making love

[Chorus]
Yeah, the tunnel was out of love
And the waltzer had no sound
The ghost train was on fire, on fire
And the merry go went
Round and round and round and round and round and round
The roller coasted on
As they went up and down
It was the night he took her to the fairground
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It was the night he took her to the fairground (Yeah)
