Hooghly district (/ˈhuːɡliː/) is one of the districts of the state of West Bengal in India. It can alternatively be spelt Hoogli or Hugli. The district is named after the Hooghly River.
The headquarters of the district are at Hooghly-Chinsura (Chuchura). There are four subdivisions: Chinsura Sadar, Serampore,Chandannagar, and Arambag.
The district of Hooghly derived its name from the town of Hooghly on the west bank of the Hooghly River about 40 km north of Kolkata. This town was a river port in the fifteenth century.
The district has thousands of years of rich heritage in the form of the great Bengali kingdom of Bhurshut. The first European to reach this area was the Portuguese sailor Vasco-Da-Gama. In 1536 Portuguese traders obtained a permit from Sultan Mahmud Shah to trade in this area. In those days the Hooghly River was the main route for transportation and Hooghly served as an excellent trading port.
Within a few decades the town of Hooghly turned into a major commercial center and the largest port in Bengal. Later in 1579-80 Emperor Akbar gave permission to a Portuguese captain Pedro Tavares to establish a city anywhere in the Bengal province. They chose Hooghly, and it became the first European settlement in Bengal. In 1599 the Portuguese traders built a convent and a church in Bandel. This is the first Christian church in Bengal known as ‘Bandel Church’ today.
I've lost my mind yeah, I've lost control
I've the lost the feeling in my arms, I'm a lost soul
Make the most of me baby, oh don't spit me out
This is how dirty girls get clean, don't leave me now
Listen to her lust, yeah, hear her disgrace
Listen to the fragile things as they all break
Watch from the covers, the comfort of your home
Through the ice and sleet baby, oh down down we go
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
And I wanted you like no one before
Said you're coming back for me honey
This is how hell forms
This is how a storm begins
This is how trouble's born
Listen to sleep
Listen to her wail
You've given birth to terrible things, watch them unveil
Listen to my torment
Listen to my pain
Please come on back here baby, let me try again
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
And the rain it poured down
And the wind it moaned
And she wrapped her legs around him
And she's got no home
And he's looking at me, oh god he looks so dumb
What are you staring at? This is how it's done
I will define for you, the meaning of greed
While you were vanishing, this dirty girl got clean
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh oh, how'd you get so mean?
