Dire Straits - Portobello Belle lyrics

Belladonna's on the high street
Her breasts upon the offbeat
And the stalls are just the side shows
Victoriana's old clothes
And yes her jeans are tight now
She got to travel light now
She got to turn upon her roots now
She got the turn up for the boots now
She thinks she's tough
She ain't no English rose
But the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows
He do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
But I got one for you Portobello Belle

She sees the man upon his back there
Escaping from a sack there
And Belladonna lingers
Her gloves they got no fingers
Blind man singing Irish
He get his money in a tin dish
Just a corner serenader
Once upon a time he could have made her
She thinks she's tough
She ain't no English rose
But the blind singer
He's seen enough and he knows
He do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
But I got one for you Portobello Belle

This time a pair of 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
Belladonna walks
Belladonna taking a stroll
She don't care about your window box
Or your button hole
She sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl
But I got one for you Portobello Belle
