[Intro]
x3 *
[Verse 1]
I’ve been walk
in’ down to th
e saloon
In the height
of the afterno
on
To feed that v
ice that keeps
my depression
in tune
And then there
’s the girl, T
he Fairy who k
nows too much
for the girl w
ho knows my he
art
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
There’s Bill t
he homeless ma
n
Beggin’ for co
in whenever he
can
And Maria who
was left in Ma
drid by her ma
n
And then there
’s the girl, T
he Fairy who k
nows too much
for the girl w
ho knows my he
art
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
In the bar of
lonely souls
The only spiri
t is alcohol
Which The Fair
y is happy to
provide until
light falls
Yeah, she’s th
e one, the one
who knows too
much for a gi
rl who knows m
y heart
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Another mornin
’ of staggerin
g home
Another mornin
’ chill to the
bone
The birds chir
ping in the tr
ees remind me
of summer days
and ice-cream
cones
And then there
’s the girl, T
he Fairy who k
nows too much
for the girl w
ho knows my he
art
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Passin’ by the
town lunatic
They thought t
hey could help
him with a ‘f
ix’
Now he’s been
fixin’ day in
day out since
1996
And then there
’s the girl, T
he Fairy who k
nows too much
for the girl w
ho knows my he
art
[Instrumental]
[Verse 6]
Another day, a
nother hole
She comes over
to make sure
I’m told
Today’s drinks
are half-pric
e and just
as cold
I look to my b
eat-up wallet
To see when I
should call it
Two days go by
and I wake up
in my own vom
it
And then there
’s the girl, T
he Fairy who k
nows too much
for the girl w
ho knows my he
art
[Instrumental]
[Verse 7]
In the bar of
lonely souls
The only spiri
t is alcohol
Which The Fair
y is happy to
provide until
light falls
Yeah, she’s th
e one, the one
who knows too
much for a gi
rl who knows
my heart
For a girl who
knows my hear

[Verse 1]
Ziggy was a go
od man
Sang songs so
blue and songs
so red
And then one d
ay he up and l
eft
Lazarus ascend
ed
[Verse 2]
Ziggy was a go
od man
Lookin’ for so
me soul food a
nd a bit of lo
ve, but
Then one day h
e up and left
Lazarus ascend

And in this cr
azy circus we
call life, for
a while
He was the con
ductor
