I met her at the Sailor's Arms, a bar down by the docksFull of prostitutes and deviants and fellas wearing frocksWent there to drown my sorrow, my misery and painWith fourteen multicoloured pills and a pint of heavy ale(Heavy ale)And I saw this girl across the way who was smiling through the wineSo I begged her, "Come on over, come on over, spend some time."And I spilled my life before her and she seemed to understandAlthough she was a girl, we were talking man-to-man(Man-to-man)For love is where you find it, wherever that may beFor me it was in the Sailor's Arms at twenty-five past threeThere's something strange about her I can't put my finger onBut I wanna tell the world that she's the one(She's the one)I wanna tell the world that she's the oneShe strolled up to the toilets, she strolled into the Gents'I asked her why she did it, why she'd gone to pay the rentWe arm-wrestled and I lost, she beat me with a spikeTold me seedy jokes that were quite unlady-like(Lady-like)It was four in the morning and through the smoky hazeSongtexteI could've been mistaken but she needed to shave(To shave)For love is where you find it wherever that may beFor me it was in the Sailor's Arms with a better man than meHer husky voice seduced me, my heart was in a messI sat upon her knee as something twitched beneath her dressThere's something more than knees beneath her dress"You've got nice eyes," says I("Oh Sir, I am surprised!")"What large hands," I said("All the better to touch you with.""God, you arms look strong."("A woman's work is never done.")"Your legs are quite hirsute."("Aren't you the saucy one!")I was feeling less than stable when she said her name was Ken(Ken)Well if I had suspicions, Lord, I should've had 'em then(Then)She cried as she told me how she was so confusedOne more visit to the doctor, she'd have nothing left to lose(Lautrec)I ran my fingers through her wig, she lightly stroked my hairShe said she was a man(Whoa, whoa! She said she was a man? A man called Ken? Bull-twang! )Lots of men are called Ken.(So what did you say, Paul?)I told her I don't care(He doesn't care! )For love is where you find it, wherever that may beFor me it was in a hopper bin with my trousers 'round my kneesThere's something strange about her I just put my finger onAnd I want to tell the world that she's the one(He's the one)I want to tell the world that it's the one Aus Songtexte Mania
