lyrics

What’s the Bets?

Torn up betting slips on the subway floor
Another little flutter now the dreaming’s over
She touched you on the shoulder as she walked out the door
Didn’t even look at you she doesn’t talk anymore

Look at those horses look at them run
Look at all the pretty ladies with their hats on in the sun
There’s money and there’s majesty all swimming in champagne
But her touch is worth a night with any one of them

What’s the bets she’s never coming back
What’s the bets she’s never coming back

Well I folded up my money and I gave it to the man
I stood down at the trackside with the slip inside my palm
Felt the thunder as they passed me, felt their breath upon my face
But her touch, her look, her voice can never be replaced

What’s the bets she’s never coming back
What’s the bets she’s never coming back
