| Leeson Street Lady, walking down Appian Way,
|
| Leeson Street Lady, you' ve been working night and day
|
| Trying to find a client, someone to pay,
|
| Leeson Street Lady, you' re an easy lay.
|
| Leeson Street Lady, why don' t you walk out your door
|
| Some women stay at home and have children
|
| Other women stay poor
|
| You walk the streets and you' re going nowhere
|
| But they know where to find you, cos you' re always there
|
| You know you' re always there
|
| And you' ve been on this road before, and I know
|
| You' ve been through this way before, and I know
|
| Well you know what it’s like to be be doneon your luck
|
| For a drink, going out just to get messed up again
|
| well I read it in the news, they dragged her ashore.
|
| There was something hanging round her neck
|
| Wasn' t really too sure.
|
| But nobody' s gonna cry for you — and nobody cares,
|
| You' re just a Leeson Street LAdy
|
| Out selling your wares.
|
| This is the first time, that she' s been treated like a lady.
|
| Cos they' re letting her go first, through her own front door.
|
| Well that' s all because, Leeson Street Lady |
| She' s not a lady anymore — she' s not a lady anymore.
|
| There' s another Leeson Street Lady walking down Appian Way
|
| There' s another Leeson Street Lady, she' ll be walking night and day. |
