Valley of the Lost Women - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]
The windows are frigidaire icebergs[00:00:14]
Frozen in prickly heat[00:00:18]
The vanishing cream victims[00:00:21]
Are drip-fed amnesia neat[00:00:24]
Where the test card melodies warm you[00:00:27]
In powder blue pseudo Bel Air[00:00:31]
Germs and flies alarm you[00:00:35]
They whisper the word expelair[00:00:38]
The eyes of the night sub-zero[00:00:48]
Peep through the windows of sleep[00:00:52]
Everyone's husband is a hero[00:00:55]
And ghost insurance men creep[00:00:59]
Through the valley of the long-lost women[00:01:02]
Dreaming under the driers[00:01:06]
Eating and sleeping and slimming[00:01:09]
According to what is required[00:01:13]
They walk through three-colour brochures[00:01:16]
Depicting palms on aqua-marine[00:01:18]
In the half-built hotels out of focus[00:01:23]
They're mending the vending machines[00:01:26]
Where sixty Italian love songs[00:01:30]
Are sung to a million guitars[00:01:33]
They lick their frozen drinks on sticks[00:01:36]
Among the men with important cigars[00:01:39]
Numb to the digital numbers[00:01:44]
None two three[00:01:47]
Four five six[00:01:49]
Lost in a far away rhumba[00:01:51]
Where the oil-drums are beaten with sticks[00:01:54]
She left her heart in Frisco[00:01:58]
She left her room in a mess[00:02:01]
She left her hat in the disco[00:02:04]
She never left her address[00:02:08]
The diving board springs to assistance[00:02:11]
Throws you off from the shore[00:02:15]
Telephones ring in the distance[00:02:18]
There are lifts getting stuck between floors[00:02:22]
A truck turns into a cul-de-sac[00:02:25]
Springtime turns to ice[00:02:29]
Rucksacks turn into hunchbacks[00:02:32]
Musclemen turn into mice[00:02:36]
In a painless panorama[00:02:39]
With its perpendicular might[00:02:42]
The women are going bananas[00:02:46]
And disappearing from sight[00:02:49]
What do the girls say[00:02:59]
