Very old friend
Came by today
As he was telling everyone in town
Of all the love that hed just found
And maries the name (of his latest flame)
Talked and talked
And I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
Prettiest green eyes anywhere
And maries the name (of his latest flame)
The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed
His money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
She is famous
She is funny
An engagement ring
Doesnt mean a thing
To a mind consumed by brass (money), oh
The last night of the fair
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
Its a hideous trait (on her mothers side)
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
A hideous trait (on her mothers side)
Then someone falls in love
Someones beaten up
Someones beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
And someone falls in love
Someones beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
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 ?
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
Oh, if I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?
...oh, walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
The Smiths sono stati una band indie rock britannica formatasi a Manchester nel 1982. Il gruppo era composto da Morrissey (voce), Johnny Marr (chitarra), Andy Rourke (basso) e Mike Joyce (batteria). Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della musica indipendente degli anni '80, The Smiths hanno combinato melodie orecchiabili con testi introspettivi e spesso melancolici di Morrissey, che affrontavano temi come l'alienazione, la solitudine e l'amore non corrisposto. La loro musica ha avuto un impatto significativo sulla scena musicale britannica e internazionale, influenzando generi come il post-punk, lo shoegaze e il britpop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di The Smiths figurano "How Soon Is Now?", "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" e "This Charming Man". L'album di debutto "The Smiths" (1984) è considerato un classico del genere indie rock, mentre "Meat Is Murder" (1985) ha affrontato temi politici e animalisti. Dopo una serie di successi, The Smiths si sono sciolti nel 1987 a causa di contrasti interni. Morrissey ha intrapreso una carriera solista di successo, mentre Johnny Marr è diventato un rinomato produttore e musicista collaborando con artisti come Modest Mouse e The Cribs.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
