Salome Maloney (Album Version) - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]
Written by:John Cooper Clarke [00:00:00]
I was walking down Oxford Road[00:00:00]
Dressed in what they call the mode[00:00:03]
I could hear them spinning all their smash hits[00:00:05]
At the mecca of the modern dance the Ritz[00:00:08]
My feet foxtrotted[00:00:11]
My shoulders did the shimmy[00:00:13]
The bouncer on the door said a gimme gimme gimme[00:00:15]
I gave 'em the tickets they gave me the shits[00:00:18]
No healthy arguments in the Ritz[00:00:21]
Standing by the cig' machine who did I see[00:00:24]
In lurex and terylene she hypnotised me[00:00:27]
I asked her name she said it's[00:00:30]
Salome Maloney queen of the Ritz[00:00:33]
Lacquered in a beehive[00:00:36]
Her barnet didn't budge[00:00:37]
Wet look lips she smiled as sweet as fudge[00:00:39]
She had a number on her back[00:00:42]
And sequins on her tits[00:00:44]
The sartorial requirements[00:00:45]
For females in the Ritz[00:00:47]
A man making like Fred Astaire[00:00:49]
Complete with spats and tails[00:00:50]
A Douglas Fairbanks moustache[00:00:52]
Dirty fingernails[00:00:54]
Whose snide innuendo was as subtle as the blitz[00:00:56]
Waltzed off with Salome in his greasy little mitts[00:00:59]
Standing in the dandruff light[00:01:02]
Trying to get pissed[00:01:04]
Amongst the headlice old spice Brut and body mist[00:01:05]
How can she be seen dead[00:01:09]
Dancing with that tit[00:01:10]
Her being Salome el supremo of the Ritz[00:01:12]
Tables flew bottles broke[00:01:16]
The bouncers shouted lumber[00:01:17]
The dummy got too chummy[00:01:19]
In a Bing Crosby number[00:01:20]
The bouncers said it's suicide[00:01:22]
Trying to get your mitts[00:01:25]
On Salome Maloney the queen of the Ritz[00:01:26]
When the ambulances came[00:01:29]
She was lying on the deck[00:01:30]
She'd fell off her stiletto heels[00:01:32]
And broke her f**king neck[00:01:34]
The band threw down their instruments[00:01:36]
The management threw fits[00:01:37]
She's dead she don't bring the business to the Ritz[00:01:39]
The over twenty-ones night said it was a shame[00:01:42]
The divorcee club will never be the same[00:01:45]
Joe loss killed himself and Vic Sylvester quit[00:01:49]
When the death dance drama did away with the Ritz[00:01:52]
When the last waltz withered[00:01:55]
And the quickstep stopped[00:01:57]
The ladies' excuse me was permanently blocked[00:01:58]
And now mecca make a living[00:02:02]
Selling little bits[00:02:03]
Of Salome Maloney[00:02:04]
In the wreckage of the Ritz[00:02:06]
