Guy falls in love with a hooker...

"Come on, tell me
What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?
They don't make girls like you no more
And I'd like to get to know you
On closer terms than this
But I guess you've heard it all before

Lady of the night
Won't you steal away with me?
Lady of the night
Won't you steal away with me?

The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me
Shakes her head and sighs
Out of time, out the door
Red light shinin' in my eyes

But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face"

the lyrics before DMC's...

Wide awake in the middle of the night
I wonder how she's feeling...

Is it just a trick of the light...
Or is her ceiling peeling...

She's sittin on the bed, shakin her head...
At a copy of true confessions..

Ooh it must seem like a fairy tale
to a woman of her profession..

Also, Keiths drumming is spot on on this tune.... As usual...

One of his better performances on that album to be sure.

I'm listening to "Heart To Hang On To" from "Rough Mix" now... Amazing song.. So sad listing to Ronnie Lane...

Keith Moon (from Wikipedia)

"Moon quickly gained a reputation for being highly destructive. He was known to lay waste to hotel rooms, the homes of friends, and even his own home, often throwing furniture out of high windows and destroying the plumbing with firecrackers.["

more Moon-isms:

"One of the most famous stories concerns him driving a Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool - it is currently disputed whether this event occurred, with his biographer, Tony Fletcher, denying it, and Roger Daltrey claiming to have witnessed the resulting $50,000 bill.[4] From his known behaviour, however, it is not hard to see how such a story could originate. It appears to have been two stories merged together. While in Flint, Michigan, Moon threw a party after a Who show; subsequently, the manager was called with complaints from the other guests. When the manager came to Moon's door and saw all of the drinking and smoking, he demanded the party be stopped and that Moon should leave. As the manager spoke, Moon picked up a cake and shoved it in his face. Moon was then thrown out of the room by the manager. In a drunken stupor Moon used a fire extinguisher on some random cars and then jumped into the swimming pool which had no water in it. He snapped one of his teeth completely off and later had it re-glued.[citation needed] The other portion of the car driving into a swimming pool story comes from the story when Moon was at his home and had an argument with his wife, Kim, and he claimed he was going to commit suicide after the argument heated up. He drove his Rolls-Royce into their home pond, and Moon came swimming out from under the water, apparently laughing.["
