Blackbird - Madness

I was walking down Dean Street, headed nowhere at all

Aimlessly strolling through Soho, when the rain began to fall

Alright nutty boy she said, passing me on Dean Street

She’s striding through the puddles, on black stilettoed feet

Guitar over one shoulder, swirling swagger in her stride

In a well-appointed pencil skirt, that maybe, just maybe 18 inches wide

The voice of fallen angels

Lost lovers in the night

A blackbird on the wing

Now only fallen angels sing

She looked back at me and smiled

She winked one deep black mascara eye

Well I narrowly missed the lamppost

As I made to make my reply

A black taxi splashes diesel rainbows through the neon air

Behind fishnet stocking by hydraulic derriere

The voice of fallen angels

Lost lovers in the night

A blackbird on the wing

Now only fallen angels sing

That guitar over one shoulder

Just a glimpse of pink La Pearla Bra

Glowing in the mist round Wanny Scots

There she goes, c’est la trois trois

We briefly faced each other, then she turned and walked away

And the rain lashed down on Dean Street, on that black and mournful day, hey

The voice of fallen angels

Lost lovers in the night

A blackbird on the wing

Now only fallen angels sing, sing

The voice of fallen angels

Lost lovers in the night

A blackbird on the wing

Only fallen angels sing

A blackbird on the wing

Only fallen angels sing

Fallen angels sing

Fallen angels sing

Fallen angels sing
