Lyrics
There was a time, now very far away When we set up together, I and she I got the brain, and she supplied the breast I saw her right, and she looked after me A way of life then, if not quite the best And when a client came, I'd slide out of our bed And treat him nice, and go and have a drink instead And when he paid up, I'd address him, "Sir Come any night you feel you fancy her" That time's long past, but what would I not give To see that whorehouse where we used to live? That was the time, now very far away He was so sweet and bashed me where it hurt And when the cash ran out, the feathers really flew He'd up and say, "I'm going to pawn your skirt A skirt is nicer, but no skirt will do." Just like his cheek, he had me fairly stewing I'd ask him straight to say what he thought he was doing Then he'd lash out and knock me headlong down the stairs I had the bruises off and on for years That time's long past, but what would I not give To see that whorehouse where we used to live?
