Limbo (Baby Limbo) - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]

Written by：John Cooper Clarke/Martin Hannett/Steve Hopkins[00:00:01]

Their lives are a mystery[00:00:38]

They make it their career[00:00:39]

In the single files of history[00:00:42]

Fall and disappear[00:00:45]

Swearing they'll get even[00:00:48]

With all those other creeps[00:00:51]

Philistines and heathens[00:00:54]

They violently sleep[00:00:57]

Or steal from cigarette machines[00:00:59]

Just for the change[00:01:02]

To get back to where they've been[00:01:04]

A doorway in the rain[00:01:07]

Back in the confession box[00:01:16]

Back in the slums[00:01:19]

Desire burns like chicken pox[00:01:21]

Underneath the thumbs[00:01:24]

A refugee from purgatory[00:01:26]

The only girl is [00:01:31]

Wears a crown of thorns[00:01:34]

Turns out she's a gringo[00:01:37]

Of hard circumstance[00:01:40]

Limbo baby limbo[00:01:43]

They want to see you dance[00:01:45]

Take the tradesman's entrance[00:01:57]

Take it out on a tramp[00:01:59]

Every f**king sentence[00:02:02]

Complains about the damp[00:02:04]

The only girl is a faint cry[00:02:07]

In the garden of cement[00:02:10]

Wait until the paint dries[00:02:13]

It's a big event[00:02:16]

Look through heaven's window[00:02:18]

With their opalescent panes[00:02:20]

Limbo baby limbo[00:02:24]

Down the boulevard of shame[00:02:26]

Saint Margaret dies intact[00:02:35]

Hardly seems alert[00:02:38]

Her stone gaze denies the fact[00:02:40]

Her face hurts[00:02:43]

The extra legal image[00:02:46]

The cold cream skin[00:02:48]

The regal gimmicks[00:02:52]

Did you in[00:02:55]

Look through heaven's window[00:02:57]

You see the powder blue veil[00:02:59]

The cover girl of limbo[00:03:02]

The sweetheart of the jail[00:03:05]

Gypsy babies hop scotch[00:03:11]

Outside the silver gates[00:03:13]

The witch doctor's wristwatch[00:03:16]

Is stuck at five to eight[00:03:19]

A bad break a slight ache[00:03:21]

Is every ones complaint[00:03:24]

Flesh flakes like angel cake[00:03:27]

From mug shots of the saints[00:03:29]

Who fell from a window[00:03:32]

Was never seen again[00:03:35]

'Til he turns up in limbo[00:03:38]

In a doorway in the rain[00:03:40]

A hero rides to heaven[00:03:54]

The public only rots[00:03:57]

For a fraction of forever[00:04:00]

In a designated spot[00:04:02]

Eternally paralysed[00:04:06]

A morbid orbit shift[00:04:08]

Halfway to paradise[00:04:11]

Stuck in the lifts[00:04:14]

Some smart crackin' bimbo[00:04:16]

Say's you can't be employed[00:04:18]

Sends you off to limbo[00:04:22]

On the stairway to a void[00:04:24]
