Testo Pearl's Cafe - The Specials
Testo della canzone Pearl's Cafe (The Specials), tratta dall'album Too Much Too Young
You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin
Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin
Her jewels were faked, she'd had a rinse, her hair was grayish blue
She looked ashamed when she explained to you
It ain't easy when there's no one to lean on
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
Nobody there, nobody cares
The pubs were closed she'd got nowhere to go
When she'd spilled her tea
Have you never thought, one day that could be me?
Her temper changed, she looked so deranged
Her perfume turned to gin
You looked at her and she began to sing
It's all a load of bullocks
It's all a load of bullocks
It's all a load of bullocks
And bullocks to it all
You tell me you think that they should lock her away
And scrape the make-up off her skin
Then we'd see the warts around her chin
She tried to keep her looks but lost her mind
When she lost her youth and grace
Your words were just an insult to her face
It ain't easy when there's no-one to lean on
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
And bullocks to it all
When I first saw you, I really thought you were a wet dream come true
Now I know that you don't care
About somebody else's nightmare
