Al Stewart - Belsize Blues       Well the roof started leaking, and the stairs were squeaking   There was water running down the walls   So we took down the carpet, scrubbed down the parquet   And the drains overflowed in the hall   In the pub across the street it was two feet deep   And the chairs were floating away   In the Chinese store all the food was on the floor   And they were wondering who was going to pay      But it's alright now she said   I'm a little bit tired, a little bit wet   But it's alright now she said   Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues      Conrad's bistro, the nights a go-go   With people talking over the flood   And Jenny from the newsdesk is looking at her shoes   Just to see is she's avoided the mud   And Annie comes slowly with a pile of ravioli   Fried chicken and a soup of the day   Moving round the table, she's a little Betty Grable   In the way she's got her hair today       But it's alright now she said   I'm a little bit tired, a little bit wet   But it's alright now she said   Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues      Philadelphia seems like a part of my dreams   And I cannot believe that I held the sleeve of her coat   But now the night is clear as a chandelier   And the trees are turning the water into a moat      We finally got cleared and the neighbors disappeared   We were sitting down for a rest   When the TV blew and the lights all fused   And the wine spilled all over her dress   So I lit up a candle, poured up a brandy   I was trying to get into a groove   And I was kissing her on the chin when the roof fell in   And I decided I was going to move      But it's alright now she said   I'm a little bit tired, a little bit wet   But it's alright now she said   Though I believe I have the Belsize Blues      That's as far as it goes now ....      Well, I don't suppose
