The Deportees Club |
| In the Arrivederci Roma nightclub, bar and grill |
| Standing in the fibreglass ruins, watching time stand still |
| All your troubles you confess to another faceless backless dress |
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo |
| Pernod vodka, Sambuca, I love you so, deportee |
| Tatty beauty talking in riddles |
| Rome burns down, everybody’s on the fiddle |
| Two thousand dollars for a wife and some class |
| A thousand years drowned in a chaser glass |
| How I wish that she was mine |
| I could have been a King in Six Eight Time |
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo |
| Pernod vodka, Sambuca, I love you so, deportee |
| It’s a brittle charm but she’s had enough |
| Still she wrote her number on his paper cuff |
| You don’t know where to start or where to stop |
| All this pillow talk is nothing more than talking shop |
| When I came here tonight, my pockets were overflowing |
| They took my return ticket without me even knowing |
| I pray to the saints and all the martyrs for the secret life of Frank Sinatra |
| But none of these things have come to pass |
| In America, the law is a piece of ass |
| I’m a deportee, I’m a deportee, I’m a deportee |
| I’m a deportee, yeah, I’m a deportee, yeah |
| I’m a deportee |
| I’m a deportee |
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo |
| Pernod vodka, Sambuca, I love you so |
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo |
| Pernod vodka, Sambuca, I love you so |
| Schnapps, Chianti, Porter and Ouzo |
| Pernod vodka, Sambuca, I love you so |
