sweet thursday - gilbert street lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
and the lady of the flowers
in her red brick towers
exchanging yellow for power
and love for a candlelit hour
for no reason
it’s just the season
in gilbert street
west one

[hook]
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and she’ll be so kind
to make a flower
with just you in mind

[verse 2]
and the question that is jenny’s
what to wear and how to spend her pennies
she seeks out friends
secretly desiring many
she feels so kind
as she unwinds
in gilbert street
west one

[hook 2]
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
sharp at 9
take her out to dinner and she say
i thank you for a lovely time and goodnight

[verse 3]
and my lady in blue
with her childhood hero untrue
looks both ways and wonders just who
is gonna bring her something new
to make her smile
just for a little while
in gilbert street
west one

[hook 3]
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
go for a joy ride
dig some joy
’til those midnight chimes

[verse 4]
and along come a man
with a big br-ss band
and to my lady in blue
he whispered, here i am
together they flew
down the avenue
called gilbert street
west one

[hook 4]
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and you’ll be flyin’ high
leave all the symbols
and the tired mind behind

[verse 5]
and the sun it did shine
as the lovers they entwine
and the big friends bide their time
while they all stand in line
to say you can’t be
hey can’t you see
this is gilbert street
west one

[hook]

[verse 6]
and the prince of the clan
with his destiny so well in hand
success and unspoken religion
between himself and his fans
he’s not so sure
anymore
when he’s in gilbert street
west one

[hook 5]
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and step into the limelight
there’s two just waiting for you, waiting for you
to make it, make it soon

[verse 7]
and the actor he stands
with outstretched hands
knowing not but hoping
that a good spirit is in command
where laughter flows
and n0body knows
of gilbert street
west one

[outro]
if you hear tinkling of a bell
borne on a moccasin through the gates of h-ll
have no fear babe
it’s only me

i wish you well
i really do i wish you well
yes i do… (fade out)
