The antisocial behaviour of boys at a Manchester suburb
Where I grew up in Manchester there was always a rough element and they got especially rowdy the day before the funfair was off to its next destination.
I remember a young guy being mugged and was stabbed behind the carousel but nobody could hear him as it was behind the diesel generator and knowing that had just happened you just felt dulled like you were a bit drunk in the atmosphere that that created.
That same night I remember seeing an actress from Coronation street making the guy that she was with laugh and she rejected his marriage proposal as she was more interested by what she earned and making more of it than the ring he showed her.
On the waltzer I saw this girls skirt fly up and that everyone was watching, a trait she got from her mother apparently but not in a nice way.
When your young you notice the blokes who work on the rides and despite their poor hygiene and unwashed hair always seemed gets the girls interested and then coercing them to write their names with a pen like a prison tattoo as a gesture of their commitment to them. The school age girls would come out with silly things like wondering about the speed of their demise should they not arrest their descent with a device that utilises ballistic nylon after jumping from the top of a ride.
I never went home with anyone after going to the fair but it didn’t make a difference to how I felt about love itself.

Well, the road seemed endless as I drove down it
... whether I was on my own or with a few people. Still, we enjoyed ourselves at the fair along the way to where we were going.
There's something nice about hanging round with a few people. We should probably make up for lost time, like all good men. Still, we enjoyed ourselves at the fair along the way to where we were going.

And it's nice to think that you'll be there when I get home. Even if I know the ikea furniture we bought will be too difficult to construct. And it's also nice to think I can pretend we ARE capable of putting the ikea furniture together. There's a ray of light shining through something.

Etc. I hate Mick Hucknall.

QOTW...
Is far too surreal for me this week.

Ah, paraphrased lyrics?
I'd usually be embarrased not knowing but if it's Hucknal I'm proud of my ignorance, which doesn't happen often.

The OP was also paraphrased lyrics, but not being as keen a fan of that particular group as the poster
...I had to figure that out from the Bigmouth reference later on. Presumably he was just grumpy because his girlfriend is in a coma, or something.
