[00:00:00] Old Compton Street Blues - Al Stewart

[00:00:07] Oh your pictures they don't really

[00:00:10] Do you justice little girl

[00:00:13] For you're careful not to let the

[00:00:16] Camera touch your private world

[00:00:20] And there's just a hint of sadness

[00:00:23] In your smile through the dark

[00:00:27] As you slip your dress off slowly

[00:00:30] For the sailor or the clerk

[00:00:34] And it could have been so different

[00:00:37] And at times you feel bad

[00:00:40] For you really did have something

[00:00:44] That the others never had

[00:00:49] And the circle turns and turns

[00:00:51] And turns so mad little girl

[00:01:02] Ah you must have been just fifteen

[00:01:05] When you made your mind up first

[00:01:09] That you'd make it in the movies

[00:01:12] And you couldn't lose the thirst

[00:01:16] And it took you to the attic

[00:01:19] Where the Agent King holds Court

[00:01:23] And his courtesans are fully

[00:01:26] Paid up losers of a sort

[00:01:29] He looks at you and tells you that

[00:01:33] You just might get the part

[00:01:36] But you don't get things for nothing

[00:01:39] And he doesn't want your heart

[00:01:45] And the circle turns and turns

[00:01:47] And turns so mad little girl

[00:01:59] Mmm you made it to the silver

[00:02:01] Screen and yet you're not a star

[00:02:05] And advertising corsets

[00:02:09] Didn't get you too far

[00:02:12] But money has it's favourites

[00:02:16] And yours went back to them

[00:02:19] So you modelled in a studio

[00:02:23] In Greek Street for the rent

[00:02:27] There you met Antonio

[00:02:30] Your lover from afar

[00:02:33] Who put you on the streets to

[00:02:36] Make the money for his car

[00:02:41] And the circle turns and turns

[00:02:44] And turns so fast little girl

[00:02:55] Ah your pictures they don't really

[00:02:59] Do you justice any more

[00:03:02] For they're crumpled now and

[00:03:04] Faded and were taken long ago

[00:03:09] And that faintly coy expression

[00:03:12] Has now left without a trace

[00:03:15] Ah there's little of it buried

[00:03:19] In the ruins of your face

[00:03:22] It could have been so different

[00:03:26] And at times you feel bad

[00:03:29] For you really did have something

[00:03:32] That the others never had

[00:03:37] And the circle turns and turns

[00:03:40] And turns so mad little girl

[00:03:51] For the circle turns and turns

[00:03:54] And turns so sad little girl

[00:04:05] Oh the circle turns and turns

[00:04:08] And it's too bad little girl
