[Intro]
Leeson Street lady
Walking down Appian Way
Leeson Street lady
You've been working night and day
Trying to find a client
Someone to pay a
Leeson Street lady
You're an easy lay
[Verse 1]
Leeson Street lady
Why don't you walk out your door?
Some women stay home and have children
And other women stay poor
You walk the streets and you're going nowhere
But they know where to find you
Because you're always there
You know you're always there
[Chorus]
And you've been on this road before
And I know
And you've been through this way before
And I know
But you know what it's like to be down on your luck
Just for a drink, going out to get messed up again
[Verse 2]
Well I read it in the news
They dragged you ashore
There was something hangout 'round your neck
I wasn't really too sure
But nobody's gonna cry for you
And nobody care's, you're just a
Leeson street lady
Out selling your wares
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
This is the first time
That she's been treated like a lady
Because they're letting her go first
Through her own front door
But that's all because the Leeson Street lady
She's not a lady anymore!
She's not a lady anymore!
[Chorus]
And you've been on this road before
And I know
And you've been through this way before
And I know
And you know what it's like to be down on your luck
Just for a drink, going out to get messed up again
[Outro]
Well, there's another Leeson Street lady
Walking down Appian way
Well, there's another Leeson Street lady
She'll be working night and day...
