Cleaning Windows Lyrics - Live At The Grand Opera House Belfast - Van Morrison

Van morrison - cleaning windows 

Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street 

got in my nose 

as we carried our ladders down the street 

with the wrought-iron gate rows 

i went home and listened to jimmie rodgers in my lunch-break 

bought five woodbines at the shop on the corner 

and went straight back to work. 

Oh, sam was up on top 

and i was on the bottom with the v 

we went for lemonade and paris buns 

at the shop and broke for tea 

i collected from the lady 

and i cleaned the fanlight inside-out 

i was blowing saxophone on the weekend 

in that down joint. 

What's my line? 

i'm happy cleaning windows 

take my time 

i'll see you when my love grows 

baby don't let it slide 

i'm a working man in my prime 

cleaning windows (number a hundred and thirty-six) 

I heard leadbelly and blind lemon 

on the street where i was born 

sonny terry, brownie mcghee, 

muddy waters singin' "i'm a rolling stone" 

i went home and read my christmas humphreys' book on zen 

curiosity killed the cat 

kerouac's "dharma bums" and "on the road" 

What's my line? 

i'm happy cleaning windows 

take my time 

i'll see you when my love grows 

baby don't let it slide 

i'm a working man in my prime 

cleaning windows...
