Midnight Shift (Radio 1 Live Version) - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]

Written by：John Cooper Clarke/James Hannett/Stephen Hopkins[00:00:02]

There's a body in the basement[00:00:28]

The TV's full of guns[00:00:31]

In the room adjacent[00:00:35]

Cold water runs[00:00:39]

The sound of cisterns[00:00:43]

Sizzling bacon or chips[00:00:45]

Footsteps in the distance[00:00:49]

She's working on the midnight shift[00:00:52]

The room is getting colder[00:00:56]

Start jumping jack[00:01:00]

You're the bluebird over her shoulder[00:01:03]

The monkey on her back[00:01:06]

She left your taxi fare[00:01:11]

There's a message in the gift[00:01:13]

You got more than she could spare[00:01:17]

She's working on the midnight shift[00:01:20]

Feedback screams on a twisted riff[00:01:24]

Luxembourg by night[00:01:28]

The cheapjack dream of the midnight shift[00:01:31]

Doesn't work out right[00:01:35]

He's got to shoot he's got to shoot[00:01:38]

Put his face about[00:01:42]

It's like the long abandoned baseball boot[00:01:45]

With the tounge hanging out[00:01:48]

The perfume of the essence rare[00:01:52]

That lingers in the lift[00:01:55]

He's a prince among the peasants where[00:02:00]

She's working on the midnight shift[00:02:02]

You're gonna find her stuck in the lift[00:02:07]

To the wonderland of vice[00:02:09]

You're gonna find her on the midnight shift[00:02:13]

With feet like blocks of ice[00:02:16]

She carried water for the mainman[00:02:20]

She had to walk the streets[00:02:24]

She married a door to door salesman[00:02:27]

Who worked away all week[00:02:30]

She lived with an empty chair[00:02:35]

Until the final rift[00:02:37]

She didn't have a thing to wear[00:02:42]

She had to work on the midnight shift[00:02:44]

You're gonna find her frozen stiff[00:02:48]

You think you been hurt[00:02:52]

You're gonna find her on the midnight shift[00:02:55]

Standing in the dirt[00:02:58]

You like to put yourself about[00:03:58]

Like the main man about town[00:04:01]

She needs someone to help her out[00:04:05]

But that's where you keep falling down[00:04:08]

Was there ever a thing so fair[00:04:12]

That smashed itself to bits[00:04:15]

Sometimes you get nowhere[00:04:19]

Working on the midnight shift[00:04:22]

A million tears gonna tear her apart[00:04:26]

Eyes that never shut[00:04:29]

A million spears gonna pierce your heart[00:04:33]

It's the death of a thousand cuts[00:04:36]

A million souls all running scared[00:04:39]

Or else they only drift[00:04:43]

You won't find her anywhere[00:04:48]

She's working on the midnight shift[00:04:50]

You're gonna find her on the hit list[00:04:54]

Of a cheapskate beastly rag[00:04:57]

You're gonna find her on the midnight shift[00:05:01]

What a f**kin' drag[00:05:06]

You really can't stop now[00:05:09]

The visitors arrive[00:05:11]

Here come the cops now[00:05:16]

Crunching up the drive[00:05:18]

Flat footsteps on the stairs[00:05:22]

Bad news travels swift[00:05:25]

Sometimes you get nowhere[00:05:29]

Working on the midnight shift[00:05:32]
