Standin' in the corner Of toulouse and dauphine Waitin' on marie-ondine I'm tryin' to place a tune Under a louisiana moonbeam On the planet of New Orleans In a bar they call the saturn And in her eyes of green And somethin' that she said in a dream Inside of my suit I got my mojo root And a true love figurine For the planet of new orleans New Orleans - the other planet With other life upon it And everythin' that's shakin' in between If you should ever land upon it You better know what's on it The planet of New Orleans Now I'm tryin' to find my way Through the rain and the steam I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen And then I heard her say Somethin' in the limousine 'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans If she was an ace And I was just a jack And the cards were never seen We could have been the king and the queen But she took me back to her courtyard Where magnolia perfume screams Behind the gates and the granite Of the planet of New OrleansPortobello Belle
Bella donna's on the high street Her breasts upon the off beat And the stalls are just the side shows Victoriana's old clothes And yes her jeans are tight now She gotta travel light now She's gotta tear up all her roots now She got a turn up for the boots now Yeah she thinks she's tough She ain't no english rose But the blind singer He's seen enough and he knows Yes and he do a song About a long gone irish girl Ah but I got one for you Portobello Belle She sees a man upon his back there Escaping from a sack there And bella donna lingers Her gloves they got no fingers Yeah, the blind man singing irish He get his money in a tin dish Just a corner serenader Upon a time he could have made her, made her Yeah, she thinks she's tough She ain't no english rose Ah, but the blind singer He's seen enough and he knows Yes and do a song About a long gone Irish girl Ah but I got one for you Portobello Belle Yes and the barrow boys are hawking And a Parakeet is squawking Upon a truck there is a rhino She get the crying of a wino And then she hear the reggae rumble Bella donna's in the jungle But she is no garden flower There is no distress in the tower Oh, bella donna walks Bella donna taking a stroll But she don't care about your window box Or your button hole Yes and she sing a song about a long gone Irish girl Ah but I got one for you Portobello BellePrivate Dancer
???Private Investigations
It's a mystery to me - the game commences For the usual fee - plus expences Confidential information - it's in a diary This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt You get to meet all sorts in this line of work Treachery an reason - there's always an excuse for it And when I find the reason I still get used to it And what have you got at the end of the day? What have you got to take away? A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes Scarred for life - no compensation private investigation
