the princess and the troubadour - pierre de gaillande lyrics
long before a garden stood on this site
this was the district that thrives in the night
a hidden hovel of vice and deceit
these ruins would never be a landmark
and all the creatures that dwelled in its dark
they were the finest flower
they were the elite
flowers and elite of the underground
hustlers and losers and roustabouts
beggars competing in damage and strife
broken down racehorses, deviants galore
not to mention a cut rate troubadour
a shipwreck clinging onto
his guitar for dear life
adopted by this tender underworld
flourished this precious pixie of a girl
tucked in the heart of this unholy mess
since she’d been found by a dry riverbed
swaddled in finest silks and left for dead
soon she was known all around
by the name of princess
one fine night, so help me, o holy ghost
she slinks in his room and she takes off her coat
she crawls on his lap after closing the door
blushing a little, she says with a sigh
“it’s you that i love and you may if you like
kiss me on the mouth
and then do even more”
hold it there, princess, that’s not my style
i don’t have the makings of a pedophile
you’re only thirteen, and i’m almost thirty years old
that’s a big difference and i see no point
in spending the rest of my days in the joint
she answers, “oh troubadour
i will not tell a soul”
“don’t push it girl” comes his mocking reply
“first off you’re not my type, and besides
my heart already belongs to a woman”
so princess burst into tears as she fled
so princess ran as she bitterly wept
feeling the burning sting
of her first rejection
corruption of a minor did not take place
the singer at dawn, without leaving a trace
made his escape in the back of a broken-down cart
of an old farmhand while strumming a tune
twenty years later, p-ssing by the same room
he feels a twinge of regret
deep down in his heart
