New World's Fair Lyrics

[DeepFixer]

Hey Boss:

Working merrily on figgering out the NWF songs, but two songs defy investigation, lyric-wise: 'Ferris Wheel' and bits of 'Good Girl, Bad Girl.'(GG, BG isn't on NWF, but it is on the CD-R that I made)

I know Steve Gilmore wrote 'Ferris Wheel,' but would ye happen to know the words, maybe??

Thanx ever so too entirely completly totaly much! :D

[Michael Moorcock]

I never could understand all the words of Ferris Wheel, I fear.
Tell me what gaps you have in Good Girl, Bad Girl and I'll try to help
you out!

[DeepFixer]

I never could understand all the words of Ferris Wheel, I fear.
Tell me what gaps you have in Good Girl, Bad Girl and I'll try to help
you out!

That's the trouble with doing a 'group' album: gotta keep track on what the other members are up to :D

On 'Good Girl, Bad Girl,' there are two areas that give me trouble:

The first part is the second verse: "But Columbine, she don’t appreciate you
(You ride some on your rainy night
Historical and you own the bike)
But you won’t ride it, will you, little girl?
You won’t ride your bike"

And then, there's the third verse: "Pantaloon’s a dotard, and sometimes drools
???nothing but cash and jewels
Cocktails full of (a million young farts)
Playing all sorts of heroic parts
But they won’t work out, will they, little girl?

The '?'s' are words I can't make out at all, and the ( ) are what it sounds like to me.

'Pantaloon' had me for a while, but then I did a web search for 'Harlequin and Columbine,' and found some helpful articles.

[Michael Moorcock]

Nothing rings a bell. I'll have to wait until I get back from California now and find a copy to play. I'm not sure where my copy is, I'm afraid.
I thought it was going to be easier than that! Can you remind me later ?
I'm busy getting ready for the trip and haven't time to search through not very well ordered stuff.
Sorry :oops:

[Michael Moorcock]

I think rainy night's wrong, too, by the way.
And it could be Pantaloon's a dotard and sometimes drools,
Pockets stuffed with nothing but cash and jewels.

[DeepFixer]

Hey-a Mr. M:

Just had a listen; "Pockets stuffed with nothing . . ." doesn't sound quite right either! :(

Going to California . . . wait, ain't that by Led Zepplin? :D

No worries, Boss! I've waited this long, I can wait some more. It'll give me time to decode some more songs and post 'em. (seems like I saved the hardest ones for last, anyway!)

If you can't find yours, I could always make a copy and send it your way( is that kosher? sending an artist a copy of his own album??)


Arrgghhh . . . almost half forgot to THANK YOU for taking the time and effort invloved for this!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
