Scene From A Corner Cafe Lyrics

Annette and Charmaine check in at six, choose their pitch for the night
Easy money, that's what they say, when you get your mind right
Charmaine wanted to be an actress, she never made the grade
Found it was not so much getting the part, more a matter of getting laid

And there's Sandy, sometimes he's a girl, sometimes she's a man
No problem, that's ok, everybody understands
Points out a drink with a cigarette, she's got a cool nonchalant air
Flashing his eyes in a mirror casually checking her hair, she doesn't care

There's a whole world out there passing through
I see it every day
Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe

The rich kids come in from the suburbs
They're dressing down and hanging out
Getting a taste of the street scene and taking a taxi out
They're watching all the girls at the bar, they wonder how much they cost
Laughing at the transvestite, she's looking lostAllan Taylor - Scene From A Corner Cafe - http://motolyrics.com/allan-taylor/scene-from-a-corner-cafe-lyrics.html

Annette leaves with the fat man, he's got hairs on the back of his hand
He says he'll make her a big star, and find her a backing band
He's old but he's rich, so what does she care, life all round is hard
No one's looking for real commitment, it's just love on a credit card

There's a whole world out there passing through
I see it every day
Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe

Me I'm not that much different, hanging out and wasting time
Yeah, I'm still missing you, but I'm doing fine
I sit here watching the world go by, I'm on the lonely side of town
I write songs for the people I see while they're still around

There's a whole world out there passing through
I see it every day
Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe
