When Señoritas walk at night,
|
Habañeros on the move,
|
It's music to their ears in the backroom.
|
If there's money to be made,
|
And it's a hundred in the shade and in the backroom,
|
She's sentimental like the last
|
Of the foreigners running past her to the backroom.
|
And if things aren't sweet in Mecca
|
She'll be begging for forgiveness in the vacuum.
|
They're taking pains with California,
|
And they're guaranteeing boredom for the monsoon.
|
And apart from what was offered
|
There were mothers buying orphans at the auction
|
Youre much better off in Twos
|
If you're coming to see the carnage in the backroom.
|
Doubled over on the table
|
I was concentrating harder in the backroom.
|
Weaving in and out of consciousness
|
Hiding out behind the entrance to the backroom.
|
It took longer than expected:
|
They had difficulty swallowing capsules.
|
We had a keener nose for trouble
|
Than the sniffer-dogs at Heathrow -
|
You'd be trousers down in no time in the backroom.
|
Almost nothing in the papers...
|
Told me it happened when they emptied out the backroom.
