Lovely Ladies (Live)
I smell women;
Smell 'em in the air.
Think I'll drop my anchor;
In that harbour over there.
Lovely ladies;
Smell 'em throught the smoke
Seven days at sea can make you hungry for for a poke.
Even stokers need a little stoke.
Lovely ladies;
Waiting for a bite.
Waiting for the customers;
Who only come at night.
Lovely ladies;
Ready for the call.
Standing up or lying down or any way at all.
Bargain prices up against the wall!
What pretty hair, what pretty locks you got there.
What luck you got, it's worth a centime, my dear.
I'll take the lot ...
Don't touch me - leave me alone.
Let's make a price;
I'll give you all of ten Francs.
Just think of that.
It pays a debt.
Just think of that.
What can I do?
It pays a debt;
Ten Francs may save my poor Cosette.
Old men;
Young men;
Take 'em as they come!
Harbour rats and alley cats and any kind of scum.
Poor men;
Rich men;
Leaders of the land!
See 'em with their trousers off, they're never quite as grand.
All it takes is money in their hand!
Lovely ladies;
Going for a song.
Got a lot of callers;
But they never last for long.
Come on, Captain;
You can wear your shoes.
Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse?
Easy money, lying on a bed.
Just as well they never see the hate that's in your head.
Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?
Smell 'em in the air.
Think I'll drop my anchor;
In that harbour over there.
Lovely ladies;
Smell 'em throught the smoke
Seven days at sea can make you hungry for for a poke.
Even stokers need a little stoke.
Lovely ladies;
Waiting for a bite.
Waiting for the customers;
Who only come at night.
Lovely ladies;
Ready for the call.
Standing up or lying down or any way at all.
Bargain prices up against the wall!
What pretty hair, what pretty locks you got there.
What luck you got, it's worth a centime, my dear.
I'll take the lot ...
Don't touch me - leave me alone.
Let's make a price;
I'll give you all of ten Francs.
Just think of that.
It pays a debt.
Just think of that.
What can I do?
It pays a debt;
Ten Francs may save my poor Cosette.
Old men;

Just as well they never see the hate that's in your head.
Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?
