Lyrics of Rusholme Ruffians by The Smiths
verse
The last night of the fair
By the big wheel generator
A boy is stabbed and his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
verse
She is famous, she is funny
An engagement ring doesn't mean a thing
To a mind consumed by brass money
chorus
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
verse
The last night of the fair
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait on her mother's side
verse
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
It's a hideous trait on her mother's side
chorus
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
verse
Then someone falls in love and someone's beaten up
Someone's beaten up and the senses being dulled are mine
And someone falls in love, then someone's beaten up
And the senses being dulled are mine
chorus
And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
verse
This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She said, "How quickly would I die
If I jumped from the top of the parachute?"
verse
This is the last night of the fair
And the grease in the hair
Of a speedway operator
Is all a tremulous heart requires
A schoolgirl is denied
She said, "How quickly would I die
If I jumped from the top of the parachute?"

So scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
This means you really love me
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
This means you really love me
chorus
And though I walk home alone
I just might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
outro
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
I might walk home alone
But my faith in love is still devout
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
