Leeson Street Lady - Bagatelle

Leeson Street Lady, walking down Appian Way,

Leeson Street Lady, you' ve been working night and day

Trying to find a client, someone to pay,

Leeson Street Lady, you' re an easy lay.

Leeson Street Lady, why don' t you walk out your door

Some women stay at home and have children

Other women stay poor

You walk the streets and you' re going nowhere

But they know where to find you, cos you' re always there

You know you' re always there

And you' ve been on this road before, and I know

You' ve been through this way before, and I know

Well you know what it’s like to be be doneon your luck

For a drink, going out just to get messed up again

well I read it in the news, they dragged her ashore.

There was something hanging round her neck

Wasn' t really too sure.

But nobody' s gonna cry for you — and nobody cares,

You' re just a Leeson Street LAdy

Out selling your wares.

This is the first time, that she' s been treated like a lady.

Cos they' re letting her go first, through her own front door.

Well that' s all because, Leeson Street Lady

She' s not a lady anymore — she' s not a lady anymore.

There' s another Leeson Street Lady walking down Appian Way

There' s another Leeson Street Lady, she' ll be walking night and day.
