lyrics
I traded my life for a ride on a merry-go-round
Riding through the fairground
Once you taste the sugar floss
You wish this ride would never stop
But the clowns hide behind their hair
Painted up faces laughing like psychos
Not everyone is fair at the fair ground you know
Not everyone is who they claim to be
That’s the trouble with us
You give in and so I give up
Why I fell for you I’ll never know
It’s crazy hanging on this folie a deux
You see things that I will never see
But don’t let that stop you
And if my vision starts to end
Maybe I could just pretend?
To keep the truth from ruining
This fairytale of facts and figurines
Messed up like a bad dream
I couldn’t believe it but its true
The TV talks to you
Tells you all there is to know
That’s the trouble with us
You give in and so I give up
Why I fell for you I’ll never know
It’s crazy hanging on this folie a deux
Try to get you out of my head
Try to get you out I know I’m in there somewhere…
Riding through the fairground
Once you taste the sugar floss
You wish this ride would never stop
But the clowns hide behind their hair
Painted up faces laughing like psychos
Not everyone is fair at the fair ground you know
Not everyone is who they claim to be
That’s the trouble with us
You give in and so I give up
Why I fell for you I’ll never know
It’s crazy hanging on this folie a deux
You see things that I will never see
But don’t let that stop you
And if my vision starts to end
Maybe I could just pretend?
To keep the truth from ruining
This fairytale of facts and figurines
Messed up like a bad dream
I couldn’t believe it but its true
The TV talks to you
Tells you all there is to know
That’s the trouble with us
You give in and so I give up
Why I fell for you I’ll never know
It’s crazy hanging on this folie a deux
Try to get you out of my head
Try to get you out I know I’m in there somewhere…

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 11 fans who also own “Folie a Deux”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.
