Artist/Band: Allan Taylor
Lyrics for Song: Scene From A Corner Cafe
Lyrics for Album: Out Of Time [1991]



Annette and Charmaine check in at six, choose their pitch for the night

Easy money, that's what they say, when you get your mind right

Charmaine wanted to be an actress, she never made the grade

Found it was not so much getting the part, more a matter of getting laid



And there's Sandy, sometimes he's a girl, sometimes she's a man

No problem, that's ok, everybody understands

Points out a drink with a cigarette, she's got a cool nonchalant air

Flashing his eyes in a mirror casually checking her hair, she doesn't care



There's a whole world out there passing through

I see it every day

Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe



The rich kids come in from the suburbs

They're dressing down and hanging out

Getting a taste of the street scene and taking a taxi out

They're watching all the girls at the bar, they wonder how much they cost

Laughing at the transvestite, she's looking lost



Annette leaves with the fat man, he's got hairs on the back of his hand

He says he'll make her a big star, and find her a backing band

He's old but he's rich, so what does she care, life all round is hard

No one's looking for real commitment, it's just love on a credit card



There's a whole world out there passing through

I see it every day

Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe



Me I'm not that much different, hanging out and wasting time

Yeah, I'm still missing you, but I'm doing fine

I sit here watching the world go by, I'm on the lonely side of town

I write songs for the people I see while they're still around



There's a whole world out there passing through

I see it every day

Watching me, watching you from a corner cafe
