about

blessington street is the street next to the st kilda botanical gardens, it has cafes and such and sometimes fortune-tellers...didn't know what to tell her...colin's nanna was a fortune-teller from scotland and she told fortunes in a small town in south australia in the 1950s.

lyrics

HAHAH..lets go
when the purple evening falls
in the backstreets of st kilda
you can see a dark eyed girl
telling fortunes
she’ll be wandering by the sea
with ankle bracelets jangling
or perhaps outside a small cafe
round in blessingto street
she’s the kind of girl who’s always
just passing thru.
always talking fortunes for an airfare..

yeah she’s a real live gypsy girl
from the backstreets of paris
coal dark eyes as black as night
kohl dark eyes and jangle bracelets
rags and feathers in her hair

she’ll take your hand in her hand and say
all this will fade away
i’ll tell you that i see and
if you like that you can pay me
fools and kings and heros all
the low will rise and the mighty fall
and up above the stars tumble and fall
one by one from heaven from heaven..
they’ll tumble and fall from from heaven
you can cross her palm with silver
cross her palm with gold
she takes your hand in her hand and she says
all this will fade away
fools and kings and heroes all
the low will rise and the mighty fall
and up above the stars tumble and fall
f-a-a-a-a-a-ll one by one from heaven
and you can cross her palm with silver
cross her palm with gold
cross her palm with
with gold
she loves gold she loves gold.
