A G# G D The last night of the fair by the big wheel generator a boy is stabbed and his money A is grabbed and the air hangs heavy like a G# G D dulling wine She is famous she is funny and engagement ring doesn't mean anything A G# G D Bm to a mind consumed by brass and money Chorus: A G# G D And though I walk home alone Bm D Bm D Bm and I walk home alone A G# G D Bm but my faith in love is still devout The last night of the fair From a seat on a whirling waltzer Her skirt ascends for a watching eye It's a hideous trait on her mother's side From a seat on a whirling waltzer Her skirt ascends for a watching eye It's a hideous trait on her mother's side Chorus: And though I walk home alone I might walk home alone But my faith in love is still devout Then someone falls in love And someone's beaten up, someone's beaten up And the senses being dulled are mine And someone falls in love And someone's beaten up And the senses being dulled are mine Chorus: And though I walk home alone I might walk home alone But my faith in love is still devout This is the last night of the fair And the grease in the hair Of a speedway operator Is all a tremulous heart requires A schoolgirl is denied She said: "How quickly would I die If I jumped from the top of the parachutes?"
