I was sittin' in this five star place going nowhere fast
When she caught my attention through the bottom of my glass
She was a waitress in the hotel above this smoky bar
She got up at dawn for breakfast and worked on 'til it got dark
And at six o'clock when her shift was up she'd drink the night away
Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all day
Well she told me where she came from was a petty kind of town
How her parents became born-agains after her brother got knocked down
And how she found the magazines in the boot of daddy's car
And he told her he was weak sometimes, just like how all gentlemen are
And in summer she'd work in his shop and then cry the night away
Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all day
So she left her home and family one cloudy afternoon
And she came here with her girlfriend who had found them both a room
And everyday they'd wake up early and go looking for a wage
In high-heels and makeup they would lie about their age
With her first job as a barmaid she's just dream her shift away
Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all day
And one day by the dole office a car window rolled down
And a gentleman asked for directions to her old home town
And it transpired he knew her family and he owned a string of bars
So he offered her a job if she would kiss him in his car
So it was that she accepted his advance of one week's pay
Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all day
And as she told me all these tales she picked a scab around her wrist
That she confessed it was self-inflicted with a whisky glass like this
Then she game her name and number to me --
I did not give mine
She said maybe
I should call her for some fun some time
And the funniest thing was that that name stuck in my head
And eight months later it was in a headline that
I read
They had pulled her out the river in that same black dress
And she lay there quite the lady for the gentlemen of the press
And her picture in the paper looked so small and far away
Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all day
Del Amitri is a Scottish pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980. The band grew out of Justin Currie's Jordanhill College School band and came together after teenager Currie placed an advert in the window of a music store asking for people who could play to contact him. The band was formed with the original line-up of Currie (bass and vocals) Iain Harvie (lead guitar) Bryan Tolland (guitar) and Paul Tyagi (drums). Currie and Harvie are the only members of the band to remain present throughout its history – they are also the main songwriters of the group.
