Songtexte Cleaning Windows / The Street Only Knew Your Name (Live) - Van Morrison
Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
Got in my nose
As we carried our ladders down the streets
With the wrought-iron gate rows
I went home and listened to Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams
In my lunch break
Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
And went straight back to work
Sam was up on top and Jim was on the bottom with the V, yeah
We went for lemonade and Paris buns at the shop and broke for tea, yeah
I collected from the lady and I cleaned the fanlight inside-out, yeah
I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
Baby, in that down joint
Tell me, what's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I'll take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
Heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon on the street where I was born, yeah
Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone", yeah
I love read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
Curiosity killed the cat
Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On The Road"
Tell me, what's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I'll take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
Tell me, what's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Well, I'll take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows
(Cleaning windows) We sang "Be-Bop-A-Lula", who swept on
Tell me "What I'd say"
"Shakin' all over", "Good golly Miss Molly" (cleaning windows)
"Bop bopa-a-lu a whop bam boo", "Tutti Frutti"
Bopin' the blues (cleaning windows)
When I'm cleaning windows
When I'm cleaning windows (cleaning windows)
