Fairground Lyrics

Cover art for Fairground lyrics by James

This seems to be about a relationship, both people are in love but somehow they just can't seem to get along easily or make it work smoothly. "Lost in memory"- sounds like things were once all smooth and blissful for them, but that's no longer the case and they're desperately clinging to that memory and trying to make it work again. "You cry, I, I, can't take anymore, But you can't find the bloody door"- They're reaching the point they can't stand it anymore, but can't quite bring themselves to leave one another.

Interestingly enough, in the Folklore biography it states the initial lyric sprang from an argument Tim had with Larry Gott before a full band jam. There were quite a few tensions within the band at the time given the pressure they were under from their record company.
