The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed
And his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
She is famous
She is funny
An engagement ring
Doesn't mean a thing
To a mind consumed by brass (money)
And though i walk home alone
Though i walk home alone
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
A hideous trait (on her mother's side)
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
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 says : "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 on the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She says : "how quickly would i die
If i jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"
So ... scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)
And though i walk home alone
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
Though i walk home alone
My faith in love is still devout
The lyrics RUSHOLME RUFFIANS of THE SMITHS is also present in the album Meat is murder (1985)
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.
