A LOVE SO FINE

Version 1

Well there's angels out on your fire-escape*
They line them up for you trying to keep you safe
But with them fire alley burglars on a midnight vamp
You lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
You lost your mind
Ohhhhhh just one more time
You have a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine

The rat's traps are filled with soul crusaders**
Everybodys's popping and hopping and jumping
At Little Melvin and The Invaders
You're out on the floor and you can't get up
Your baby's out there dancing that Continental Strut
She looks so good, she blows your mind
You've got a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine

Everybody's reeling when the band hits the ceiling
Don't you know you wanna go
The joint get's rockin', your knees start knockin'
Everybody party, go
Let's go

The bar's closed down, it's time to go home
You walk to the shady side of town all alone
Papa's screamin' at ya, he wants some cash
Mama's chewin' your ear off at about hanging out with trash
You don't mind, bet you don't mind
You've got a love so fine
A love so fine
You've got a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine

Hey hey hey
Whoa whoa
Hey hey hey
Lada da lada da
Lada da lada da
Hey hey hey
Whoa
Whoa
Lada da lada da
Lada da lada da
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
hey hey hey
Whoa

Thats alright, you don't mind
You've got a love so fine
You've got a love so fine
You've got a love so fine
You've got a love so fine
Whoa!

Originally by the Chiffons. Very similar to SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE. Both share the music of the instrumental PARADISE BY THE C. Played from Oct 1974 to Aug 1975. Lyrics slightly changed through these months, and finally became SO YOUNG AND IN LOVE.

These lyrics refer to the version as performed on 4 Oct 1974 at the Avery Fisher Hall, New York City, and on 19 Oct 1974 at the Union College, Schenectady, New York City. Check also version 2, version 3, and version 4.

This was a very popular song in the live shows, and it was a great surprise this never turned up on an album, or even as a single or B-side. A great rocker, with a fantastic version appearing on "The Saint, The Incident and the Main Point Shuffle" bootleg.
