lirik lagu matthew parmenter - polly new
up on the ferris wheel roy, polly knew
would finally come through
after all
she was two weeks late already
now, come to think of it gosh, maybe he
should get down on his knee
after all
he had promised to go steady
but the words weren’t in him, instead at his cue
he said polly, i’ve got a present for you
she said big things come in small packages
i wonder if she knew
as the carriage descent went their bird’s eye view
roy produced the toy he called polly new
said he’d won it last night with the fellas here
i named it after you
polly new
polly new
polly new
under the porch light, roy go debonair
spoke only of the fair
after all
it was leaving town tomorrow
she was a swell girl he’d had lots of fun
but now he had to run
after all
he was one hour late already
she extended her left hand but roy missed the clue
he just planted a kiss there as brando would do
and she cried how can i say this we need to talk
and that’s when he withdrew
and the tire rubber burned as the fall wind blew
with no promise, no token, no i love you
just the blur of his tail lights seen through her tears
and oh yes, polly new
polly new
polly new
polly new
two pollies charge through the front door
old curses, throws new to the floor
upstairs shrieks i wish he were dead
as she collapses on the bed
jealous rex, who growled at roy
sniffs cautiously the newfound toy
he laps and tugs the shoddy thread
bound polly neck to polly head
with tooth at arm and frilled underpants
pausing but to wonder at the distant
howling ambulance
it was nine months since the accident to the day
roy and rex’s indigestion had passed away
but the mother and daughter had reconciled
they would leave to a cousin’s
and there they would have the child
and the doctor delivered a healthy boy
and his mother’s first words were i’ll call him roy
ooh, ooh, i named him after you
from town to town a pague unseen descends
in pleasure’s guise the enterprise pretends
to host a festive store for all to take
yet e’er bestows misfortune in it’s wake
they nightly raise the tents, a wand ring throng
their souls now to the carnival belong
with each sundown, initiates they find
through games of chance, new prisoners to bind
beware, the ancient curse predates the flood
beware a union not of flesh and blood
a bride is won though none dare say i do
a d~mned matrimony waits for you
polly new
polly new
