Madame George (1999 Remaster) - Van Morrison.mp3

[00:14.90] Down on Cyprus Avenue
[00:19.80] With a childlike vision leaping into view
[00:27.94] Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe
[00:34.45] Ford & Fitzroy, Madame George
[00:43.14] Marching with the soldier boy behind
[00:49.69] He's much older with hat on drinking wine
[00:56.29] And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
[01:03.84] The cool night air like Shalimar
[01:12.75] And outside they're making all the stops
[01:18.24] The kids out in the street collecting bottle-tops
[01:25.47] Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops
[01:32.81] Happy taken Madame George
[01:40.80] That's when you fall
[01:46.49] Whoa, that's when you fall
[01:54.89] Yeah, that's when you fall
[02:04.36] When you fall into a trance
[02:09.51] A sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
[02:16.63] With your folded arms and history books you glance
[02:23.12] Into the eyes of Madame George
[02:32.96] And you think you found the bag
[02:38.70] You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
[02:45.65] In the corner playing dominoes in drag
[02:53.23] The one and only Madame George
[03:00.28] And then from outside the frosty window raps
[03:07.46] She jumps up and says Lord have mercy I think it's the cops
[03:15.98] And immediately drops everything she gots
[03:21.97] Down into the street below
[03:30.30] And you know you gotta go
[03:35.58] On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
[03:43.17] Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
[03:49.75] And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow
[03:56.65] Say goodbye to Madame George
[04:04.04] Dry your eye for Madame George
[04:11.62] Wonder why for Madame George
[04:27.14] And as you leave, the room is filled with music, laughing, music,
[04:33.37] dancing, music all around the room
[04:41.06] And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all
[04:49.09] So cold
[04:56.53] And as you're about to leave
[05:01.73] She jumps up and says Hey love, you forgot your gloves
[05:12.15] And the gloves to love to love the gloves...
[05:23.05] To say goodbye to Madame George
[05:30.89] Dry your eye for Madame George
[05:37.76] Wonder why for Madame George
[05:45.25] Dry your eyes for Madame George
[05:55.02] Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street
[06:08.75] In the backstreet, in the back street
[06:13.75] Say goodbye to Madame George
[06:23.26] In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street
[06:32.46] Down home, down home in the back street
[06:44.05] Gotta go
[06:49.80] Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[06:56.29] Dry your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye...
[07:09.92] Say goodbye to Madame George
[07:16.76] And the loves to love to love the love
[07:25.88] Say goodbye
[07:36.57] Oooooo
[07:46.68] Mmmmmmm
[08:06.21] Say goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye to Madame George

[08:33.08] The love's to love the love's to love the love's to love...
[08:41.26] Say goodbye, goodbye
[08:46.56] Get on the train
[08:54.11] Get on the train, the train, the train...
