Grande Affaire Ralph McTell

Take a bus, who needs a car
We'll eat here, take this seat near the door
Well I'm not hungry much now, are you?
Is it ok if I share yours with you?
I've got no money and I think I believe that you knew

Remember the moon on the wall, didn't she shine?
The taste of the sheets and the feel of the wine
Wasn't I glad that you was mine
In the Grande Affaire?

Take a boat, maybe a plane
Anywhere now, 'cept Greece or Spain
For sure, I know where I am
I see canals, this is Amsterdam
I got friends here and they know, they can say who I am

Remember the room without any view?
Frightened of meeting someone that we knew
No farewells or how-do-you-dos
In the Grande Affaire

Now I've stayed in all the best hotels
And there's white coated waiters attend me
And I look at the beautiful girls
Do they really believe they can bend me?
