and the lady of the flowers
in her red brick towers
exchanging yellow for power
and love for a candlelit hour
for no reason
its just the season
in gilbert street
west one
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and she'll be so kind
to make a flower
with just you in mind
and the question that is Jenny's
what to wear and how to spend her pennies
she seeks out friends
secretly desiring many
she feels so kind
as she unwinds
in gilbert street
west one
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
sharp at 9
take her out to dinner and she say
I thank you for a lovely time and goodnight
and my lady in blue
with her childhood hero untrue
looks both ways and wonders just who
is gonna bring her something new
to make her smile
just for a little while
in gilbert street
west one
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
go for a joy ride
dig some joy
till those midnight chimes
and along come a man
with a big brass band
and to my lady in blue
he whispered, here I am
together they flew
down the avenue
called gilbert street
west one
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and you'll be flyin' high
leave all the symbols
and the tired mind behind
and the sun it did shine
as the lovers they entwine
and the big friends bide their time
while they all stand in line
to say you cant be
hey cant you see
this is gilbert street
west one
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and she'll be so kind
to make a flower
with just you in mind
and the prince of the clan
with his destiny so well in hand
success and unspoken religion
between himself and his fans
he's not so sure
anymore
when he's in gilbert street
west one
get your ticket on the central line
get off at bond street
and step into the limelight
there's two just waiting for you, waiting for you
to make it, make it soon
and the actor he stands
with outstretched hands
knowing not but hoping
that a good spirit is in command
where laughter flows
and nobody knows
of gilbert street
west one
if you hear tinkling of a bell
borne on a moccasin through the gates of hell
have no fear babe
it's only me
I wish you well
I really do I wish you well
Yes I do . . . . (fade out)
in her red brick towers
