Faithfull, Marianne – Madame George

Faithfull, Marianne – Madame George Lyrics

Artist: Faithfull, Marianne
Song: Madame George

Down the Cyprus Avenue
With child-like visions leaping into view
A clicking clacking of the high-heeled shoes
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame Joy

Marching with the soldier boy behind
He’s much older now with hat on, drinking wine
And that smell of sweet perfume comes drifting through
Early cool night air like Shalimar

Outside they’re making all the stops
Kids out in the street collecting bottle tops
Going for cigarettes and matches in the shops
Happy thinking Madame Joy

Oh, that’s when you fall
Oh, that’s when you fall
Yeah, that’s when you fall
When you fall into a trance

Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms in history books you glance
Into the eyes of Madame Joy
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 Joy
Outside the frosty window raps

She jumps up and says, “Lord have mercy, I think that 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
In the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say good-bye to Madame Joy

Dry your eye for Madame Joy
Wonder why for Madame Joy
As you leave the room it’s filled with music
Laughing music, dancing music all around the room

And all the little boys come around walking away from it all
So cool
And you’re about to leave she jumps and says, “Hey love
You forgot your glove”

And the love to love she loves to love the love
To love to love she loves to love the love to love
Say good-bye to Madame Joy
Dry your eye for Madame Joy

Wonder why for Madame Joy
Dry your eye for Madame Joy
In the wind and the rain, in the back street, in the back street
In the back street, in the back street, in the back street

Say good-bye to Madame George
Down home in the back street, in the back street
Say good-bye, say good-bye to Madame Joy
