Beasley Street - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]

Written by：John Cooper Clarke/Martin Hannett/Steve Hopkins[00:00:03]

Far from crazy pavements[00:00:20]

The taste of silver spoons[00:00:23]

A clinical arrangement[00:00:27]

On a dirty afternoon[00:00:30]

Where the fecal germs of Mr Freud[00:00:33]

Are rendered obsolete[00:00:38]

The legal term is null and void[00:00:41]

In the case of Beasley street[00:00:44]

In the cheap seats where murder breeds[00:00:48]

Somebody is out of breath[00:00:51]

Sleep is a luxury they don't need a sneak preview of death[00:00:55]

Belladonna is your flower[00:01:03]

Man slaughter your meat[00:01:06]

Spend a year in a couple of hours[00:01:10]

On the edge of Beasley street[00:01:12]

Where the action isn't[00:01:17]

That's where it is[00:01:20]

State your position[00:01:24]

Vacancies exist[00:01:28]

In an x certificate exercise[00:01:30]

Ex servicemen excrete[00:01:34]

Keith Joseph smiles and a baby dies[00:01:38]

In a box on Beasley street[00:01:41]

From the boarding houses[00:01:45]

And the bedsits full of accidents and fleas[00:01:46]

Somebody gets it[00:01:53]

Where the missing persons freeze[00:01:55]

Wearing dead men's overcoats[00:02:00]

You can't see their feet[00:02:03]

A riff joint shuts opens up[00:02:06]

Right down on Beasley street[00:02:09]

Cars collide colours clash[00:02:14]

Disaster movie stuff[00:02:18]

For a man with a fu manchu moustache[00:02:21]

Revenge is not enough[00:02:25]

There's a dead canary on a swivel seat[00:02:27]

There's a rainbow in the road[00:02:31]

Meanwhile on Beasley street[00:02:35]

Silence is the code[00:02:39]

Hot beneath the collar[00:02:50]

An inspector calls[00:02:53]

Where the perishing stink of squalor[00:02:56]

Impregnates the walls[00:03:00]

The rats have all got rickets[00:03:04]

They spit through broken teeth[00:03:07]

The name of the game is not cricket[00:03:11]

Caught out on Beasley street[00:03:14]

The hipster and his hired hat[00:03:18]

Drive a borrowed car[00:03:22]

Yellow socks and a pink cravat[00:03:25]

Nothing la di dah[00:03:29]

O A P mother to be[00:03:32]

Watch the three piece suite[00:03:36]

When shit stoppered drains[00:03:39]

And crocodile skis[00:03:41]

Are seen on Beasley street[00:03:42]

The kingdom of the blind[00:03:47]

A one eyed man is king[00:03:50]

Beauty problems are redefined[00:03:54]

The doorbells do not ring[00:03:57]

A lightbulb bursts like a blister[00:04:01]

The only form of heat[00:04:04]

Here a fellow sells his sister[00:04:07]

Down the river on Beasley street[00:04:11]

The boys are on the wagon[00:04:15]

The girls are on the shelf[00:04:19]

Their common problem is[00:04:23]

That they're not someone else[00:04:26]

The dirt blows out[00:04:29]

The dust blows in[00:04:31]

You can't keep it neat[00:04:33]

It's a fully furnished dustbin[00:04:36]

Sixteen Beasley street[00:04:40]

Vince the ageing savage[00:04:44]

Betrays no kind of life[00:04:47]

But the smell of yesterday's cabbage[00:04:50]

And the ghost of last year's wife[00:04:53]

Through a constant haze[00:04:57]

Of deodorant sprays[00:04:59]

He says retreat[00:05:02]

Alsations dog the dirty days[00:05:04]

Down the middle of Beasley street[00:05:08]

People turn to poison[00:05:12]

Quick as lager turns to piss[00:05:15]

Sweethearts are physically sick[00:05:19]

Every time they kiss[00:05:23]

It's a sociologist's paradise[00:05:26]

Each day repeats[00:05:30]

On easy cheesy greasy queasy[00:05:33]

Beastly Beasley street[00:05:37]

Eyes dead as vicious fish[00:05:41]

Look around for laughs[00:05:44]

If I could have just one wish[00:05:48]

I would be a photograph[00:05:51]

On a permanent monday morning[00:05:54]

Get lost or fall asleep[00:05:58]

When the yellow cats are yawning[00:06:01]

Around the back of Beasley street[00:06:05]
