Elton John - Sweet Painted Lady [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I'm back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned
If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh the prices i charge here will see you alright
So she lays down beside me again

[Chorus 1]
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

[Chorus 2][x2]
Oh sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game

[Verse 2]
Forget us we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2][x2]
