Al Stewart: Belsize blues

Well the roof started leaking, and the stairs were squeakingThere was water running down the wallsSo we took down the carpet, scrubbed down the parquetAnd the drains overflowed in the hallIn the pub across the street it was two feet deepAnd the chairs were floating awayIn the Chinese store all the food was on the floorAnd they were wondering who was going to payBut it's alright now she saidI'm a little bit tired, a little bit wetBut it's alright now she saidThough I believe I have the Belsize BluesConrad's bistro, the nights a go-goWith people talking over the floodAnd Jenny from the newsdesk is looking at her shoesJust to see is she's avoided the mudAnd Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioliFried chicken and a soup of the dayMoving round the table, she's a little Betty GrableIn the way she's got her hair today But it's alright now she saidI'm a little bit tired, a little bit wetBut it's alright now she saidThough I believe I have the Belsize BluesPhiladelphia seems like a part of my dreamsAnd I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coatBut now the night is clear as a chandelierAnd the trees are turning the water into a moatWe finally got cleared and the neighbors disappearedWe were sitting down for a restWhen the TV blew and the lights all fusedAnd the wine spilled all over her dressSo I lit up a candle, poured up a brandyI was trying to get into a grooveAnd I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell inAnd I decided I was going to moveBut it's alright now she saidI'm a little bit tired, a little bit wetBut it's alright now she saidThough I believe I have the Belsize BluesThat's as far as it goes now ....Well, I don't suppose
