about

This Scarborough Fairy tale is taken from the 2002 album 'Ironing the Soul', remixed in Southport by David Marsden

lyrics

You said anywhere will do just as long as I’m with you
Just get the tickets just book the room
We can be who we want escape where we’re from
We’ll be back so quick no one will know we’re gone
On the seat of the bus you made me go red
Then finished me off on the hotel bed
I had stars in my eyes you were older and wiser than I was
My dirty weekend
All grown up playing happy pretend
Getting caught out in the end
When I said goodbye I knew that I would never see you again
There were photographs in the drawers of a naked man called David
With a large and flaccid cock cowboy boots and an earring
A spy hole in the wall for the pervert in the hall
I played the gigolo you played the whore
And we painted the town all the usual shades
Holding hands and making promises in the light house rays
I’d put on your makeup you’d put on a show
For the boy in reception before we had to go
And when I woke in a dream like state last night it was as if I was 19 again in Scarborough
My dirty weekend
All grown up playing happy pretend
We’re all caught out in the end
When I said good bye I knew that I would never see you again
