Fairground Blues
I can still remember

The coat I wore that day
I can still remember
Yellow as a plastic moon
The coat I wore that day
With a weave as thick as chains
Yellow as a plastic moon

With a weave as thick as chains
Walkin’ past the sideshow tents

Drunker than we knew
Walkin’ past the sideshow tents
Could never fill my brother’s shoes
Drunker than we knew
Got them fairground blues
Could never fill my brother’s shoes
Got them fairground blues
Got them fairground blues

Got them fairground blues
Was gone so long, I didn’t know

If my brother’d still be there
Was gone so long, I didn’t know
When I got back to the
If my brother’d still be there
Burlesque show
When I got back to the
Four cops were standin’ on the stairs
Burlesque show

Four cops were standin’ on the stairs
Brother’s hands were stuck in irons

Sweat had soaked his hair
Brother’s hands were stuck in irons
Said ’you missed the fun in there
Sweat had soaked his hair
Missed all the fun in there
Said you missed the fun in there
You missed the fun in there’
Missed all the fun in there

You missed the fun in there
Brother’s face was red and wild

Cop said: ’do you know this boy?
Brother’s face was red and wild
Choked a man for just his smile
Cop said: do you know this boy?
This one’s a killer not a boy.’
Choked a man for just his smile

This one’s a killer not a boy.
My brother spit and laughed

And said: ’i shoulda’ stuck with you
My brother spit and laughed
Big brother shoulda’ stuck with you.’
And said: I shoulda’ stuck with you

Big brother shoulda’ stuck with you.
