Belsize Blues (2001 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart[00:00:01]
Well the roof started leaking and the stairs were squeaking[00:00:16]
There was water running down the walls[00:00:18]
So we took down the carpet scrubbed down the parquet[00:00:21]
And the drains overflowed in the hall[00:00:24]
In the pub across the street it was two feet deep[00:00:26]
And the chairs were floating away[00:00:29]
In the Chinese store all the food was on the floor[00:00:32]
And they were wondering who was going to pay[00:00:35]
But it's alright now she said[00:00:37]
I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet[00:00:40]
But it's alright now she said[00:00:43]
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues[00:00:46]
Conrad's bistro the nights a go-go[00:01:00]
With people talking over the flood[00:01:02]
And Jenny from the newsdesk is looking at her shoes[00:01:05]
Just to see is she's avoided the mud[00:01:08]
And Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioli[00:01:10]
Fried chicken and a soup of the day[00:01:13]
Moving round the table she's a little Betty Grable[00:01:16]
In the way she's got her hair today[00:01:18]
But it's alright now she said[00:01:21]
I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet[00:01:23]
But it's alright now she said[00:01:26]
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues[00:01:29]
Philadelphia seems like a part of my dreams[00:01:42]
And I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coat[00:01:45]
But now the night is clear as a chandelier[00:01:53]
And the trees are turning the water into a moat[00:01:56]
We finally got cleared and the neighbors disappeared[00:02:04]
We were sitting down for a rest[00:02:07]
When the TV blew and the lights all fused[00:02:09]
And the wine spilled all over her dress[00:02:12]
So I lit up a candle poured up a brandy[00:02:15]
I was trying to get into a groove[00:02:17]
And I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell in[00:02:20]
And I decided I was going to move[00:02:22]
But it's alright now she said[00:02:25]
I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet[00:02:28]
But it's alright now she said[00:02:30]
Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues[00:02:34]
That's as far as it goes now[00:02:45]
