Van Morrison - Madame George

Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision
leaping into view
Clicking clacking of the high
heeled shoe
Ford & Fitzroy
Madam George
Marching with
the soldier boy behind
He's much older with hat on
drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume
comes drifting through
The cool night air like Shalimar
And outside they're making
all the stops
The kids out in the street
collecting bottle-tops
Gone for cigarettes and
matches in the shops
Happy taken
Madame George
Whoa
That's when you fall
Whoa
that's when you fall
Yeah
that's when you fall
When you fall into a trance
A sitting on a sofa playing
games of chance
With your folded arms
and history books you glance
Into the eyes of
Madame George
And you think you
found the bag
You're getting weaker
and your knees begin to sag
In the corner playing
dominoes in drag
The one and only
Madame George
And then from outside
the frosty window raps
She jumps up and says
Lord have mercy
I think it's the cops
And immediately drops
everything she gots
Down into the street below
And you know you gotta go
On that train from
Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies
at the bridges
down below
And the rain
hail sleet and snow
Say goodbye to
Madame George
Dry your eye for
Madame George
Wonder why for
Madame George
And as you leave
the room is filled with music
laughing music
dancing
music all around the room
And all the little boys
come around
walking away from it all
So cold
And as you're about to leave
She jumps up
and says Hey love
you forgot your gloves
And the love
the loves to love
the loves to love
the loves to love
the loves to love
the love
the loves to love
the love the gloves
To say goodbye to
Madame George
Dry your eye for
Madame George
Wonder why for
Madame George
Dry your eyes for
Madame George
Say goodbye in the wind
and the rain
on the back street
In the backstreet
in the back street
Say goodbye to
Madame George
In the backstreet
in the back street
in the back street
Whoa
Down home
down home
in the back street
Gotta go
Say goodbye goodbye
goodbye
Dry your eye your eye
your eye your eye your eye
your eye your eye your eye
your eye your eye your eye
your eye your eye your eye
your eye your eye your eye
your eye your eye your eye
Say goodbye to
Madame George
And the love
the loves to love
the loves to love
the loves to love
the love
the loves to love
to love the love
the loves to love
Say goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
Oooooo
Mmmmmmm
Say goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye
to Madame George
Dry your eye for
Madame George
Wonder why for
Madame George
And the love
The love's to love
the love's to love
the love
the love's to love
the love
the love's to love
Say goodbye goodbye
Get on the train
Get on the train
the train the train
the train the train
the love
This is the train
this is the train
the love the love
This is the train
Whoa say goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye
Get on the train
get on the train

VAN MORRISON - MADAME GEORGE

MADAME GEORGE - Listen at the start for Van showing some rare humour in typical Belfast style. My 1st attempt at making a video to music - pretty crappy I'll admit and hopefully I'll improve.
