《Belsize Blues (2001 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] Belsize Blues (2001 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart

[00:00:16] Well the roof started leaking and the stairs were squeaking

[00:00:18] There was water running down the walls

[00:00:21] So we took down the carpet scrubbed down the parquet

[00:00:24] And the drains overflowed in the hall

[00:00:26] In the pub across the street it was two feet deep

[00:00:29] And the chairs were floating away

[00:00:32] In the Chinese store all the food was on the floor

[00:00:35] And they were wondering who was going to pay

[00:00:37] But it's alright now she said

[00:00:40] I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet

[00:00:43] But it's alright now she said

[00:00:46] Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues

[00:01:00] Conrad's bistro the nights a go-go

[00:01:02] With people talking over the flood

[00:01:05] And Jenny from the newsdesk is looking at her shoes

[00:01:08] Just to see is she's avoided the mud

[00:01:10] And Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioli

[00:01:13] Fried chicken and a soup of the day

[00:01:16] Moving round the table she's a little Betty Grable

[00:01:18] In the way she's got her hair today

[00:01:21] But it's alright now she said

[00:01:23] I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet

[00:01:26] But it's alright now she said

[00:01:29] Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues

[00:01:42] Philadelphia seems like a part of my dreams

[00:01:45] And I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coat

[00:01:53] But now the night is clear as a chandelier

[00:01:56] And the trees are turning the water into a moat

[00:02:04] We finally got cleared and the neighbors disappeared

[00:02:07] We were sitting down for a rest

[00:02:09] When the TV blew and the lights all fused

[00:02:12] And the wine spilled all over her dress

[00:02:15] So I lit up a candle poured up a brandy

[00:02:17] I was trying to get into a groove

[00:02:20] And I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell in

[00:02:22] And I decided I was going to move

[00:02:25] But it's alright now she said

[00:02:28] I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet

[00:02:30] But it's alright now she said

[00:02:34] Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues

[00:02:45] That's as far as it goes now
