Belsize Blues (2001 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart

Well the roof started leaking and the stairs were squeaking

There was water running down the walls

So we took down the carpet scrubbed down the parquet

And the drains overflowed in the hall

In the pub across the street it was two feet deep

And the chairs were floating away

In the Chinese store all the food was on the floor

And they were wondering who was going to pay

But it's alright now she said

I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet

But it's alright now she said

Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues

Conrad's bistro the nights a go-go

With people talking over the flood

And Jenny from the newsdesk is looking at her shoes

Just to see is she's avoided the mud

And Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioli

Fried chicken and a soup of the day

Moving round the table she's a little Betty Grable

In the way she's got her hair today

But it's alright now she said

I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet

But it's alright now she said

Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues

Philadelphia seems like a part of my dreams

And I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coat

But now the night is clear as a chandelier

And the trees are turning the water into a moat

We finally got cleared and the neighbors disappeared

We were sitting down for a rest

When the TV blew and the lights all fused

And the wine spilled all over her dress

So I lit up a candle poured up a brandy

I was trying to get into a groove

And I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell in

And I decided I was going to move

But it's alright now she said

I'm a little bit tired a little bit wet

But it's alright now she said

Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues

That's as far as it goes now
