I’ve been walkin’ down to the saloon
In the height of the afternoon
To feed that vice that keeps my depression in tune
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart
There’s Bill the homeless man
Beggin’ for coin whenever he can
And Maria who was left in Madrid by her man
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart
In the bar of lonely souls
The only spirit is alcohol
Which The Fairy is happy to provide until light falls
Yeah, she’s the one, the one who knows too much for a girl who knows my heart
Another mornin’ of staggering home
Another mornin’ chill to the bone
The birds chirping in the trees remind me of summer days and ice-cream cones
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart
Passin’ by the town lunatic
They thought they could help him with a ‘fix’
Now he’s been fixin’ day in day out since 1996
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart
Another day, another hole
She comes over to make sure I’m told
Today’s drinks are half-price and just as cold
I look to my beat-up wallet
To see when I should call it
Two days go by and I wake up in my own vomit
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart
In the bar of lonely souls
The only spirit is alcohol
Which The Fairy is happy to provide until light falls
Yeah, she’s the one, the one who knows too much for a girl who knows
my heart
For a girl who knows my heart
