- Dire Straits: Portobello Belle
-
- Belladonna's on the high street
- Her breasts upon the offbeat
- And the stalls are just the side shows
- Victoriana's old clothes
- Yeah she got the skirt so tight now
- She wanna travel light now
- She wanna tear up all her roots now
- She got the turn-up on the boots now
- She thinks she's tough
- She ain't no English rose
- But the blind singer
- He's seen enough and he knows
- He do a song about a long gone Irish girl
- But I got one for you my Portobello Belle
-
- She sees a man upon his back there
- Escaping from a sack there
- And Belladonna lingers
- Her gloves they got no fingers
- Blind man he's singing the Irish
- He gets his money in a tin dish
- Just a corner serenader
- Once upon a time he could have made her
- She thinks she's tough
- She ain't no English rose
- But the blind singer
- He's seen enough and he knows
- He do a song about a long gone Irish girl
- But I got one for you my Portobello Belle
-
- Yes and these barrow boys are hawking
- And a parakeet is squawking
- Upon a truck a paper rhino
- She get the crying of a wino
- And then she get the reggae rumble
- Belladonna's in the jungle
- But she ain't no garden flower
- There ain't no distress in the tower
- Belladonna walks
- Belladonna taking control
- She don't care about your window box
- Or your button hole
- She sing a song about a long gone Irish girl
- But I got one for you my Portobello Belle
-
