lyrics

I used to be a prostitute, mhm
I used to suck cock 25 hours a day
I used to be very passionate, mhm
I used to love to execute
the free-loving hippy way, yeah
Well, one day I went to Portugal,
oh Portugal
and in this Portugal
I met one of these weird bearded guys
the moment when he heard me sing
he did say some quite insulting things
he said,
“Alice! I’ve seen better whores
to be honest
you ain’t quite professional
you know most prostitutes
they ask for money
that’s how they survive
you know giving blow-jobs
for food and accommodation, man!
that ain’t a life
Alice… Alice…

I can make you
a rockstar!
And I’m gonna be your manager!
Hey Alice, I’m gonna make you
a rockstar!
And I’m gonna be your sexy manager

Now Alice!
I heard you sing
and listen just to one thing
you know you can make so many people
happy at the same time
and I’m not talking
‘bout a good old gang bang
no! Alice, you got the voice!
You don’t have to be a whore!
you don’t have to be a dirty whore, anymore!
No, Alice, I can make you a rockstar!
don’t listen to your friends
that say music business will corrupt ya
yeah, maybe you won’t earn as much
as being a prostitute
maybe you’ll even have to pay people
for playing to them
but!
you know that’s the most important thing in life, Alice
that’s creativity!

Yeah!! Wohohoo!
Did you hear me, Alice?!
It’s creativity!
Fuck yeah!
ok… give it to me Enslaved Forestman
Woo!

Alice… Alice…
I can make you
a rockstar
and I’m gonna be your manager
Hey Alice, I’m gonna make you
a rockstar!
In Portugal, oh in Portugal!
Portugal, Portugal! Oh Portugal! Oh Portugal!
Portugal Portugal Portugal
the country
of seagulls
the country of the Portuguese language
yeah, I never learnt how to talk Portuguese, no
But I think it’s a motherfucking
rocknroll sexy language!

You dirty whore
not anymore

about

Alicia Edelweiss image

Alicia Edelweiss

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician. ... more
