Dressed in silk, latin lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest penny fare
Pretty passing care
Hair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughter's son
Isn't it fun?

Myriad had choice of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate for him to choose

Not a ghost bloodied country all covered with sleep
Where the Black Angel did weep not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose

See the bells up in the sky

You're written in her book
You're number thirty seven, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's going to play you for a fool, yes it's true
