The bit up to the line "Last night of the fair" is from an Elvis Presley song called Marie's the Name of His Latest Flame.
The rest of the song is a song by The Smiths themselves called Rusholme Ruffians.
They performed the song at their concerts complete with the Elvis intro, but on the album version (from Meat Is Murder) the intro isn't there.
The song itself is, like many Smiths songs, about death. At a fairground.
