"Ladies In Waiting"

So you been to the market
And the meat looks good tonight
And the ladies in waiting
Will show you what it's all about

Their selection is inviting
They sure look hot tonight
And the ladies in waiting
Will show you what it's all about

And so you move on down the line
All the ladies are lookin' fine, so fine
Ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting

So you move on down the line
All the ladies are lookin' fine

Their selection is inviting
They sure look hot tonight
And the ladies in waiting
Will show you what it's all about

And so you move on down the line
All the ladies are lookin' fine, so fine
Ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting
Ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting
Ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting, ladies in waiting
Ladies in waiting

Babe,

" Prostitute "

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

I was there like your mother
Like a brother, like a friend
Said you'd be there like a heartbeat
Thought I'd be there 'till the end
Then you took me like a cancer
You turned my conscience black
Tell the cops"here keep the ransom"
'cause there's no turning back

I ain't here for love or money
And you don't see the truth
So if you want to bleed me honey,
Tonight I'll be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
Yeah
Hey hey hey

Could you tell me one good reason
'cause I can't think of none
First you love me then you hate me
As the lies slip off your tongue
You say talk for me
Baby smile for me
You tell me I'm the one
You say bleed for me
Baby breath for me
Tell me when it's done

Well I ain't here for love or money
And you don't see the truth
So if you're gonna need me honey
Tonight I'll be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
Yeah
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

I know there's no forgiveness
For the things I've said and done
At least I know what I am
And I'm not the only one

'cause I ain't here for love or money
You can't see the truth
So if you want to bleed me honey
Tonight I'll be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
I will be your prostitute
Yeah
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Babe,
xoxo

You have to eliminate the "s" in the "https" for the youtube links, or they won't display on the page.

Also, Paul Simon probably is referring to Brill Building songwriters in "The Boxer" when he says "whores." It's a metaphor. Perhaps you've heard of them. Not all songwriting is literal.

" Queen Bitch "
About a T-prostitute

I'm up on the eleventh floor
And I'm watching the cruisers below
You know my heart's in the basement
My weekend's at an all-time low

Well, he's down on the street
And he's trying hard to book sister Flo
As she's hoping to score
Well, I can't see her letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
Oh no no

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat
And bippity-boppity hat
Oh God, I could do better than that

She's an old-time ambassador
Of sweet-talking, night-walking games
And she's known in the darkest clubs
For pushing ahead of the dames

If she says she can do it
Then she can do it
She don't make false claims
But she's a queen, and such are queens
That your laughter
Is sucked in their brains

Now she's leading him on
And she'll lay him right down
Yes she's leading him on
And she'll lay him right down

But it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say
Why didn't I say no, no, no

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat
And bippity-boppity hat
Oh God, I could do better than that

So I lay down a while
And I gaze on my hotel wall
Oh, the cot feels so cold
That it don't feel like no bed at all

Yes, I lay down a while
And I look gaze on my hotel wall
Oh he's down on the street
So I throw both his bags down the hall

And I'm phoning a cab
'Cause my stomach feels small
There's a taste in my mouth
But it's no taste at all

Well it could have been me
Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say
Why didn't I say

She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat
And bippity-boppity hat
Oh God, I could do better than that

" I'm Your Late Night Evening Prostitute "

Well I got here at eight and I'll be here till two
I'll try my best to entertain you
And please don't mind me if I get a bit crude
I'm your late night evening prostitute

So drink your Martinis and stare at the moon
Don't mind me I'll continue to croon
And don't mind me if I get a bit lewd
I'm your late night evening prostitute

And dance, have a good time
I'll continue to shine
Yes dance, have a good time
Don't mind me if I slip upon a rhyme

Well I got here at eight and I'll be here till two
I'll try my best to entertain you
And please don't mind me if I get a bit crude
I'm your late night evening prostitute
I'm your late night evening prostitute

Actually, i think Tom Waits is saying the protagonist in this song is an unhappy lounge singer who feels like a whore (probably because he hates his job?)

That's one unhappy lounge singer.

I tried to change the quoted post to another song but ran out of time because my PC was stalling and the ten minute edit time limit expired on me.

" Candy's Room "

In Candy's room there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
but to get to Candy's room you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys
When I come knocking she smiles pretty she knows I wanna be Candy's boy

There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe

We kiss, and my heart rushes to my brain
and the blood rushes in my veins, the fire rushes towards the sky
We go driving, driving deep into the night
I go driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes

She says baby if you wanna be wild
you got a lot to learn, close your eyes
Let them melt, let them fire, let them burn
Cause in the darkness there'll be hidden worlds that shine
When I hold Candy close she makes these hidden worlds mine

Guitar solo

She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
She has men who will give her anything she wants but they don't see
That what she wants is me,

oh and I want her so
I'll never let her go, no no no
She knows that I'd give
all that I got to give
All that I want all that I live
to make Candy mine
Tonight

Babe,
xoxo

Can't believe no one's posted this yet. It's from the movie American Gigolo:

Colour me your colour, baby
Colour me your car
Colour me your colour, darling
I know who you are
Come up off your colour chart
I know where you're comin' from
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) my love
You can call me any day or night
Call me

Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come, I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi

Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) oh my love
When you're ready we can share the wine
Call me

Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, he speaks the languages of love
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, amore, chiamami, chiamami
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any way
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day-ay

Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) for a ride
Call me, call me for some overtime
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me in a sweet design
Call me (call me), call me for your lover's lover's alibi
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me)
Oh, call me, oo-hoo-hah
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me any, anytime

Lady Marmalade Lyrics

http://www.metrolyrics.com/lady-marm...i-labelle.html

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?"
Mmm, gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He sat in her boudoir while she freshed up
That boy drank all that magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets where
He started to freak
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocalata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Hey hey hey
Touching her skin feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until it cried, "More, more, more"
Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his gray flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep more, more, more
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocca chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Nolan, Kenny / Crewe, Robert
