Brings Me To Tears

He used the same café every day
At 1pm no delay
Polished brass bar and silver fittings
Varnished floor boards, red leather seating
Even though it cost a hefty buck
He’d still went and ordered the same coffee cup
I take it black no sugar please
Coz he’s sweet enough you see

Give this lady a generous tip
She works crazy hours to support her kids
And hasn’t bought herself a new dress in years
And she’s so fine it almost brings me to tears

Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears

Can I get you anything else sir?
Maybe a slice of cake?
As she waits for his response
His clammy hands begin to shake
He stuttered his words could hardly speak
A strong business man brought to his knees
The simplest of answers he can’t collate
Eventually responding thanks but I already ate

Give this lady a generous tip
She works crazy hours to support her kids
And hasn’t bought herself a new dress in years
And she’s so fine it almost brings me to tears

Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears

Excuse me miss I’ve been wanting to ask you
Would you be free after your shift?
I’d like to take you out tonight
There’s this little place that I think you’d like
Goodness me how long has it been?
I’ve been dropping hints hoping you’d ask me
Why certainly sir I will kindly accept
Only one rule there’ll be no sex yet

Give this lady a generous tip
She works crazy hours to support her kids
And hasn’t bought herself a new dress in years
And she’s so fine it almost brings me to tears

Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears

It almost brings me to tears

about

Late Night Marauders image

Late Night Marauders Hull, UK

"Late Night Marauders are led by whirlwind soulstress Ruthie Scott and the piano wizardry of James Wood. Raised on a steady diet of classic RnB and jazz standards Ruth's songs evoke visions of smokey basement clubs in the 1950's where beatniks and jazzheads would party. Late Night Marauders present a unique blend of soul, R'n'B and boogie which is an irrepressible delight.
