Fairground lyrics

Artist  : Pulp 
Song : Fairground
 
As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes
makes mistakes. 
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside
the damp grass and tilted tent? 
As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes
makes mistakes. 
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside
the damp grass and tilted tent? 
Won't you come with me to the fairground? 
Your head / will be spinning, 
I said your head / is your feet. 
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight
legs. 
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle
like a fence, 
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
I sought shelter from the storm in a small inn by
the coast.
In the children's room three identical sisters
sat, 
except for the one who was hideously deformed; 
her grotesque features seemed to parody her
sisters' beauty, 
ridiculing and mocking everything I held dear. 
Won't you come with me to the fairground? 
Your head / will be spinning, / I said your head
/ is your feet. 
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight
legs. 
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle
like a fence, 
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
The fish-eyed foetus floated blankly in the
yellowed waters, still as wax.
The man came between us, my sister and I, 
ridiculing and parodying everything we held dear,

making a mockery of our former emotions. Dragging
it all down to his level. 
Won't you come with me to the fairground? / Your
head / will be spinning. 
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight
legs. 
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle
like a fence, 
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!) 
And then we went for rides. 
[Jarvis:] Roll up, roll up, nice rides... 
Come on, spin those cars boys and make the girls
scream!
The louder you scream the faster we go! 
Come on, roll up, go on, ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls, 
for the ride of a lifetime. There's plenty of
seats, come on, don't be shy! 
Roll up, come on, come on! 
[shreiking and wailing laughter] 
And then we went for rides.
