lirik lagu oysterband – heaven to calcutta
[verse 1]
underneath the city
and all that we possess
i met the prince of beggars
in a place with no address
[chorus]
he had air~conditioned shadows
he had a thousand~dollar suit
he had hands to pour the brandy
he had hands to count the loot
he said
[verse 2]
i know what your game is
you are falling like a star
heaven to calcutta
did you think you’d fall so far?
[chorus]
he had air~conditioned shadows (oh so far)
he had a thousand~dollar suit
he had hands to pour the brandy
he had hands to count the loot
he said
[verse 3]
i have pockets full of pity
to get you through the day
you see my damaged children
and you turn your face away (hmm)
[verse 4]
but though i hurt these children
i do not tеll them lies
i show them what thеir life is
then i cut ’em down to size
[chorus]
he had air~conditioned shadows
he had a thousand~dollar suit
he had hands to pour the brandy
he had hands to count the loot
he said
[verse 5]
and though i hurt my children
maybe i make them wise
let the prince of beggars hold
a mirror to your eyes
to your eyes
[verse 6]
when love laid out her table
were you down there with the bums?
did i see you in the alley?
were you grateful for the crumbs?
[verse 7]
and the one who pays the piper
does he pay you anything?
tell the prince of beggars
who’s the beggar when you sing
get up and sing
get up and sing
get up and sing
[chorus]
he had air~conditioned shadows
he had a thousand~dollar suit
he had hands to pour the brandy
he had hands to count the loot
