Thread Name: Lyr Req: Brough Hill Fair
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Brough Hill Fair
I said to myself, "We can do this!", and I started writing down the lyrics from the recording by the band Posh Frock (linked above.) But I give up. It's a mishmash except for a few lines of the chorus.

I do get it that in the third verse or so, the singer is blaming the authorities for the regulations that killed the fair. However, sources say that the fair has simply moved to Appleby.

Here's a link to a Guardian picture-essay about the fair at Appleby.
