Madame George - Van Morrison[00:00:00]
Down on Cyprus Avenue[00:00:31]
With a child-like vision leaping into view [00:00:36]
The clicking clacking of the high-heeled shoes [00:00:42]
Ford and Fitzroy; Madam George [00:00:48]
Marching with the soldierboy behind[00:00:55]
He's much older now with hat on drinking wine[00:01:01]
And the smell of sweet perfume comes drifting thru[00:01:08]
In the cool night breeze like Shalimar[00:01:14]
And then your self control lets go[00:01:21]
And suddenly you're up against the bathroom door [00:01:27]
The hallway lights are finely getting dim[00:01:33]
You're in the front row touching him[00:01:39]
And outside they're making all the stops[00:01:46]
The kids out in the streets collecting bottle tops [00:01:52]
Going for cigarettes and matches to the shops [00:01:58]
Happy talking Madam George[00:02:04]
And that's when you fall Oh [00:02:10]
Oh that's when you fall[00:02:23]
And you fall into a trance[00:02:38]
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance[00:02:42]
With your folded arms in history books you glance[00:02:48]
Into the eyes of Madam George[00:02:54]
And you think you've found your bag [00:03:02]
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag[00:03:07]
And in the corner playing dominoes in drag [00:03:13]
The one and only Madam George[00:03:19]
And outside the frosty window raps[00:03:26]
She says "Be cool I think that it's the cops"[00:03:32]
Stands up drops everything she gots [00:03:38]
It's not easy now you know[00:03:44]
Now you know you gotta go[00:03:51]
Catch a train from Dublin up to Sandy Row [00:03:57]
In the wind rain & fog & slush & snow[00:04:03]
Keep on going on[00:04:10]
Say good-bye we know you're pretty far out[00:04:17]
And all the little boys comin' round[00:04:29]
They got gold cigarette lighters in their pockets[00:04:31]
Walking away from it all so cool [00:04:34]
That's when you fall[00:05:01]
