The demo of 'deportee' has essentially the same lyrics as this earlier version of the song |
|
In the arrivederci roma nightclub, bar and grill |
|
Standing in the fibreglass ruins watching time stand still |
|
All your troubles you confess |
|
To another faceless backless dress |
|
Schnapps chianti porter and ouzo |
|
Pernod vodka sambuca i love you so |
|
Deportee |
|
Tatty beauty talking in riddles |
|
Rome burns down everybody's on the fiddle |
|
Two thousand dollars for wife and some class |
|
A thousand years drowned in a chaser glass |
|
How i wish that she was mine |
|
I could have been a king in six eight time |
|
Schnapps chianti porter and ouzo |
|
Pernod vodka sambuca i love you so |
|
Deportee |
|
It's a brittle charm but she's had enough |
|
Still she wrote her number on his paper cuff |
|
You don't know where to start or where to stop |
|
All this pillow talk is nothing more than talking shop |
|
When i came here tonight my pockets were overflowing |
|
They took my return ticket without me even knowing |
|
I pray to the saints and all the martyrs |
|
For the secret life of frank sinatra |
|
But none of these things have come to pass |
|
In america the law is a piece of ass |
|
I'm a deportee |
