Dire Straits Portobello Belle Lyrics

Belladonna's on the high street
Her b______ upon the off beat
And the stalls are just the side shows
Victoriana's old clothes

And yes her jeans are tight now
She gotta travel light now
She's gotta tear up all her roots now
She got a turn up for the boots now

Yeah she thinks she's tough
She ain't no english rose
But the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows

Yes and he do a song
About a long gone irish girl
Ah but I got one for you Portobello Belle

She sees a man upon his back there
Escaping from a sack there
And belladonna lingers
Her gloves they got no fingers

Yeah, the blind man singing irish
He get his money in a tin dish
Just a corner serenader
Upon a time he could have made her
Could have made her

Yeah, she thinks she's tough
She ain't no english rose
Ah, but the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows

Yes and do a song
About a long gone irish girl
Ah but I got one for you Portobello Belle

Yes and the barrow boys are hawking
And a parakeet is squawking
Upon a truck there is a rhino
She get the crying of a wino

And then she hear the reggae rumble
Belladonna's in the jungle
But she is no garden flower
There is no distress in the tower

Oh, Belladonna walks
Belladonna taking a stroll
But she don't care about your window box
Or your b___on hole

Yes and she sing a song
About a long gone irish girl
Ah, but I got one for you
Portobello Belle
