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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And advertising corsets[00:02:05]

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

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

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

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

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

There you met Antonio[00:02:27]

Your lover from afar[00:02:30]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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