DIRE STRAITS - Portobello Belle (Live) lyrics
rate meBelladonna's on the high street<br />
Breast's upon the off beat<br />
And the stalls are just the side shows<br />
Victoriana's old clothes<br />
<br />
Yes, she got the skirt on tight, now<br />
She wanna travel light, now<br />
And she wanna turn up all her roots, now<br />
And she got the turn upon the boots, now<br />
<br />
She thinks he's tough, she ain't no English rose<br />
But blind singer, he's seen enough and he knows<br />
And he do a song about a long gone Irish girl<br />
But I got one for you, my Portobello Belle<br />
<br />
She sees a man upon his back there<br />
Escaping from a sack there<br />
And Belladonna lingers<br />
Her gloves, they got no fingers<br />
<br />
Blind man singing Irish<br />
Get his money in a tin dish<br />
He just a corner serenader<br />
Once upon a time he could have made her<br />
He could have made her<br />
<br />
She thinks he's tough, she ain't no English rose<br />
Blind singer, he's seen enough and he knows<br />
He do a song about a long gone Irish girl<br />
But I got one for you, Portobello Belle<br />
<br />
Yes and these barrow boys are hawking<br />
And a Parakeet is squawking<br />
Upon a truck there is a rhino<br />
She get the crying of the wino<br />
<br />
Then she hear the reggae rumble<br />
Belladonna's in the jungle<br />
But she is no garden flower<br />
There is no distress in the tower, not at all<br />
<br />
Belladonna walks<br />
Belladonna taking a stroll<br />
She don't care about your window box<br />
Your button hole<br />
<br />
She sing a song about a long gone Irish girl<br />
But I got one for you, my Portobello Belle
