Shinobu - The Dance at Delmonico's lyrics

The night reeks of disdain Foiled plans and stolen bottles of champagne Reunion dance at Delmonico's and a broken leg A misled riot, two soldiers with nothing better Now one's lying dead and the other pours over the counter Mr. In and Mr. Out are sloshing 'round the streets while Gordon quietly k**s himself A fist of money woes The damn dance at Delmonico's whose mu- Sic you have to understand But now Edith wants another man she says Of course I'll leave with you As she slips out to the avenue Quite disgusted with her fantasies Of Gordon Street romantically This is my vacation and I won't let you drag me down With a cheap sob story and that plastered on frown You can't expect me to give handouts to my ancient friends After all, this is my vacation She's a Jewel, a regular Diamond Gordon can't you see? She'd ward away anyone for you If only you would stay She's a Jewel, a regular Diamond Gordon but who are we to decide?
