The Face Behind the Scream - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]

Written by：John Cooper Clarke/James Hannett/Stephen Hopkins/Invisible Girls[00:00:01]

This case appears to be urgent[00:00:13]

Kindly pull the screen[00:00:15]

Cosmetic surgeon[00:00:17]

The son of Mr. Sheen[00:00:18]

Is Jerry building versions[00:00:20]

Of the face behind the scream[00:00:21]

The girl who would be beauty queen[00:00:27]

Tells the doctor of her dream[00:00:29]

In which she reads a magazine[00:00:30]

Wearing only cold cream[00:00:32]

They call her the face behind the scream[00:00:34]

The image he maintains[00:00:40]

And the silence he observes[00:00:42]

Says it's worth a little pain[00:00:44]

For the figure we both deserve[00:00:45]

A cowboy by profession since the age of 17[00:00:47]

Whose singular obsession is the face behind the scream[00:00:50]

The girl who would be beauty queen[00:00:57]

Tells the doctor of her dream[00:00:59]

A soiree in the mezzanine[00:01:00]

And castanets and tambourines[00:01:02]

A careless word and ugly scenes[00:01:04]

The doctor knows he's made for good impressions on demand[00:01:07]

The new nose in the neighbourhood was fashioned by these hands[00:01:10]

He can do it blindfold his instruments are clean[00:01:14]

A snapshot in his mind holds the face behind the scream[00:01:17]

The girl who would be beauty queen[00:01:27]

Diamond rivets in her jeans[00:01:29]

Wild and with it even off screen[00:01:31]

He then removes the bandage and the odd remaining scab[00:01:34]

A flair for fancy language[00:01:37]

The gift of the gab[00:01:40]

Hands you a sandwich and applies the Vaseline[00:01:41]

To show to best advantage the face behind the scream[00:01:44]

The girl who would be beauty queen[00:01:51]

Tells the doctor of her dream[00:01:53]

In which she turns her money green[00:01:54]

Finds herself in a funny scene[00:01:56]

Cracks up like a shatterproof windscreen[00:01:58]

Danke schoen ich liebe dich I promise not to hurt[00:02:01]

A telephone receiver clicks red alert[00:02:04]

Whatever you do don't touch that switch the doctor goes to work[00:02:08]

With his bag of tricks in his limousine[00:02:11]

Mug shots from magazines[00:02:13]

Face creams and photo fits[00:02:15]

To fit the face that doesn't fit[00:02:16]

The face behind the scream[00:02:18]

The girl who would be beauty queen[00:02:55]

Surrounded by the regular team[00:02:57]

Of Pluto brats and coma teens[00:02:58]

In bowler hats and brilliantine[00:03:00]

Or bold cravats of bottle green[00:03:01]

Such a precious little dream[00:03:03]

To be taken to extremes[00:03:05]

How many times can you be 16[00:03:07]

They call her the face behind the scream[00:03:09]
