  • Song Lyrics » D » Dire Straits » Portobello Belle Lyrics
    Belladonna's on the high street
    Her breasts upon the offbeat
    And the stalls are just the side shows
    Victoriana's old clothes
    Yeah she got the skirt so tight now
    She wanna travel light now
    She wanna tear up all her roots now
    She got the turn-up on the boots now
    She thinks she's tough
    She ain't no English rose
    But the blind singer
    He's seen enough and he knows
    He do a song about a long gone Irish girl
    But I got one for you my Portobello Belle

    She sees a man upon his back there
    Escaping from a sack there
    And Belladonna lingers
    Her gloves they got no fingers
    Blind man he's singing the Irish
    He gets his money in a tin dish
    Just a corner serenader
    Once upon a time he could have made her
    She thinks she's tough
    She ain't no English rose
    But the blind singer
    He's seen enough and he knows
    He do a song about a long gone Irish girl
    But I got one for you my Portobello Belle

    Yes and these barrow boys are hawking
    And a parakeet is squawking
    Upon a truck a paper rhino
    She get the crying of a wino
    And then she get the reggae rumble
    Belladonna's in the jungle
    But she ain't no garden flower
    There ain't no distress in the tower
    Belladonna walks
    Belladonna taking control
    She don't care about your window box
    Or your button hole
    She sing a song about a long gone Irish girl
    But I got one for you my Portobello Belle
