The Fairies only recorded three singles, but on those 45s are three tunes that rate with the very wildest British R&B of the mid-'60s.
There's No Place Like Home
The Fairies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A smile on our face
To be so close to home
Our own special place
No matter how lovely the homes that we see
The places we visit, friends, family
It's ours our very own
Our palace, our castle
The best we have known
No matter how big or small
It's ours – our own
We say with a smile
There's no place like home, sweet home
If you have to leave
To go far away
For maybe a few hours
Or maybe it's for days
No matter how lovely the homes that we see
The places we visit, friends, family
Our home is so special
It's ours our very own
Our palace, our castle
The best we have known
No matter how big or small
It's ours, our own
We say with a smile
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home

on We Love A Fairy Ring
We love a fairy ring, it makes us dance and sing
Skipping in a circle and fluttering our wings
Dancing ‘round the pretty flowers,
Yes we can dance for hours
Oh yes, we love a fairy ri-i-ing
We love a fairy ring, made up of everything
All from the garden, oh the magic it brings
I want to wave around, skipping across the ground
Oh yes, we love a fairy ri-i-ing
Pretty flowers pink and blue, yellow and purple too
Holding hands we like to spin, as we dance and sing
Violets for Harmony, pink flowers for Rhapsody
Oh yes, we love a fairy ri-i-ing
We love a fairy ring, it makes us dance and sing
Skipping in a circle and fluttering our wings
Dancing ‘round the pretty flowers,
Yes we can dance for hours
Oh yes, we love a fairy,
Oh yes, we love a fairy,
Oh yes, we love a fairy,
Oh yes, we love a fairy ri-i-ing
