A LOVE SO FINE

Version 4

There's sparklin' angels on your fire-escape*
They gonna line them up for to keep you safe
But with them fire alley virgins on a midnight vamp
You lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp
You lost your mind, whoa and that's all right
You got a love so fine
A love so fine, your and your baby
A love so fine, a love so fine
A love so fine

The rat's traps are filled with soul crusaders**
Everybody's popping and hopping and jumping
At Little Melvin and The Invaders
You're out on the floor, you can't get up
Your baby's out there dancing that Continental Strut
She looks so good, she blows your mind
You got 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 just wanna go
The joint starts rocking, your knee's start knocking
Everybody wanna go
Let's go

The bar's closed down, its time to go home
You walk to the dirty side of town all alone
Papa's chewing your ear off about how he wants some cash
Mama's screaming at you about hanging out with trash
That's all right, oh you don't mind
'Cause you've got a love so fine
A love so fine
A love so fine
That's all right
A love so fine

That's all right, you don't mind
A love so fine
A love so fine
You and your baby
A love so fine

(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 23 Feb 1975 at the Westbury Music Fair, Westbury, New York City. Check also version 1, version 2, and version 3.

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.
