Fairground Blues — текст песни (Walkabouts, The)

I can still remember
the coat I wore that day
yellow as a plastic moon
with a weave as thick as chains

walkin` past the sideshow tents
drunker than we knew
could never fill my brother`s shoes
got them Fairground Blues
got them Fairground Blues

was gone so long, I didn`t know
if my brother`d still be there
when I got back to the
burlesque show
four cops were standin` on the stairs

brother`s hands were stuck in irons
sweat had soaked his hair
said 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?
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
big brother shoulda` stuck with you.

got them Fairground Blues X4
