Limbo (Baby Limbo) - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]
Their lives are a mystery[00:00:35]
They make it their career[00:00:37]
In the single files of history[00:00:40]
Fall and disappear[00:00:43]
Swearing they'll get even[00:00:46]
With all those other creeps[00:00:49]
Philistines and heathens[00:00:51]
They violently sleep[00:00:54]
Or steal from cigarette machines[00:00:57]
Just for the change[00:01:00]
To get back to where they've been[00:01:02]
A doorway in the rain[00:01:05]
Back in the confession box[00:01:13]
Back in the slums[00:01:16]
Desire burns like chicken pox[00:01:18]
Underneath the thumbs[00:01:21]
A refugee from purgatory[00:01:24]
Wears a crown of thorns[00:01:32]
Turns out she's a gringo[00:01:35]
Of hard circumstance[00:01:37]
Limbo Baby Limbo[00:01:40]
They want to see you dance[00:01:43]
Take the tradesman's entrance[00:01:54]
Take it out on a tramp[00:01:57]
Every f**king sentence[00:01:59]
Complains about the damp[00:02:02]
The only girl is a faint cry[00:02:05]
In the garden of cement[00:02:07]
Wait until the paint dries[00:02:11]
It's a big event[00:02:13]
Look through heaven's window[00:02:16]
With their opalescent panes[00:02:18]
Limbo Baby Limbo[00:02:21]
Down the Boulevard of shame[00:02:23]
Saint Margaret dies intact[00:02:33]
Hardly seems alert[00:02:35]
Her stone gaze denies the fact[00:02:38]
Her face hurts[00:02:41]
The extra legal image[00:02:43]
The cold cream skin[00:02:46]
The regal gimicks[00:02:49]
Did you in[00:02:52]
Look through heaven's window[00:02:54]
You see the powder blue veil[00:02:56]
The cover girl of limbo[00:02:59]
The sweetheart of the jail[00:03:02]
Gypsy babies hop-scotch[00:03:08]
Outside the silver gates[00:03:10]
The witch doctor's wristwatch[00:03:13]
Is stuck at five-to-eight[00:03:16]
A bad break, a slight ache[00:03:18]
Is every ones compaint[00:03:21]
Flesh flakes like angel cake[00:03:24]
From mug-shots of the saints[00:03:27]
Who fell from a window[00:03:29]
Was never seen again[00:03:32]
'Til he turns up in limbo[00:03:35]
In a doorway in the rain[00:03:37]
A hero rides to heaven[00:03:51]
The public only rots[00:03:54]
For a fraction of forever[00:03:56]
In a designated spot[00:03:59]
Eternally paralysed[00:04:02]
A morbid orbit shift[00:04:05]
Halfway to paradise[00:04:08]
Stuck in the lifts[00:04:11]
Some smart crackin' bimbo[00:04:13]
Say's you can't be employed[00:04:15]
Sends you off to limbo[00:04:18]
On the stairway to a void[00:04:21]
