Alan Boyd - Lovely Ladies Lyrics

[SAILOR #1]
I smell women, smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor in that harbor over there

[SAILOR #2]
Lovely ladies, smell 'em through the smoke
Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke

[SAILOR #3]
Even stokers need a little stoke

[PROSTITUTES]
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

[OLD WOMAN, approaching FANTINE]
What pretty hair!
What pretty locks you've got there
What luck you've got
It's worth a centime, my dear
I'll take the lot

[FANTINE]
Don't touch me, leave me alone
[OLD WOMAN]
Let's make a price
I'll give you all of ten francs
Just think of that

[FANTINE]
It pays a debt

[OLD WOMAN]
Just think of that

[FANTINE]
What can I do? It pays a debt
Ten francs may save my poor Cosette

[PROSTITUTES]
Old men, young men, take 'em as they come
Harbour rats and alley cats and every 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 your hand

Lovely ladies, going for a song
Got a lot of callers but they never stay for long

[FANTINE]
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?
