The Smiths - Rusholme Ruffians [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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)

[Chorus]
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone ...
...But my faith in love is still devout

[Verse 2 x2]
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)

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 x2]
Then someone falls in love
And someone's beaten up
Someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 x2]
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?"
La...

[Bridge]
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)
Oh ...

[Chorus x2]
