Lyrics

[angelique]

see the girl against the bar there with her black shoes and black shirt
she deals in short orders and dishes out the dirt
she's an education from her legs up to her hair
i can see that you're interested but please don´t stare

you're thinking if she's single she's the one for you
she moves just like a movie star and smokes a little boo
your eyes are stuck on Angelique as your battle with the booze
has finally got you cornered but that ain't half the news

Angelique, she's doing fine
Angelique, wish you were mine
Angelique, she says her line
oh, Angelique

you seek an invitation as you study the cuisine
you've seen that kind of girl before (in a) a glossy magazine
the click of heel across the floor you shift against the blue
it's just the waitress, Angelique so join the queue

she used to have a head on her a bank account and things
now she works the bars at night, she's looking thin
she remembers all the stuff she had to loose
the Gucci watch the evening dress in pure silk chartreuse

Angelique ...

look! everybody's watching her and trying to catch her eye
they never knew the half of it and here's the reason why
with a suitcase and a memory she never planned to stay
it was just a job for summer and she's been here every day

every day for three whole years and never takes a break
now she works the bars all night and never on the take
she's careful to observe each prospective new start
waiting for the man, I guess, who wouldn't break her heart

Angelique ...
