The Ghost Of Al Capone - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]

Written by：John Cooper Clarke/James Hannett/Stephen Hopkins/Invisible Girls[00:00:01]

In a marble room I was alone[00:00:07]

Somewhere in the heart of Rome[00:00:11]

Through gardens long since overgrown[00:00:14]

Down old arcades of broken stone[00:00:18]

I met the ghost of Al Capone[00:00:22]

Upon request for some i.d[00:00:26]

He said the guardian angels are working for me[00:00:29]

I called for a cop he said stop or I shoot[00:00:44]

One or two holes in your three piece suit[00:00:48]

I say steady on old fruit[00:00:52]

He told me not to be so cute[00:00:56]

Consider the river and the concrete boots[00:00:59]

The devil and the deep blue sea[00:01:03]

What you saw you didn't see[00:01:07]

The guardian angels are working for me[00:01:10]

The arms the raving arms[00:01:14]

And the hustle and the bustle muscle in[00:01:17]

I get sandwiched between the palms[00:01:21]

The waving palms[00:01:25]

And the banknotes rustle like an international language[00:01:26]

Even the recession doesn't put him out of pocket[00:01:44]

Back in the depression he made a profit[00:01:47]

A one man crime wave who can stop it[00:01:51]

The aged William in his pocket[00:01:54]

Blackmail blue films narcotics[00:01:58]

Served with the style of a real neurotic[00:02:02]

And the easy smile of a true psychotic[00:02:05]

A sort of refugee[00:02:09]

From the heart of the apostolic sea[00:02:13]

From one flat fee to another flat fee[00:02:16]

The hours are short and the money's free[00:02:20]

And the guardian angels are working for me[00:02:24]

The arms the raving arms[00:02:28]

And the hustle and the bustle muscle in[00:02:31]

I get sandwiched between the palms[00:02:35]

The waving palms[00:02:39]

And the banknotes rustle like an international language[00:02:40]

I under pressure suggested it[00:02:58]

Why not confess and quit[00:03:02]

You're thirty-nine sir and less than fit[00:03:05]

He took my false address and split[00:03:09]

By the dirt roads through the fever trees[00:03:12]

In a Lamborghini if you please[00:03:16]

To get from a to b[00:03:20]

I beat my heart and bend my knee[00:03:23]

The guardian angels are working for me[00:03:27]

Paralysed in precious stone[00:03:35]

Canonized I stand alone[00:03:39]

In the clouds of paradise my home[00:03:42]

A million orchids deck the throne[00:03:46]

Of the man who numbered Al Capone[00:03:49]

The man who numbered all his bones[00:03:53]

A personal friend of the burning tree[00:03:57]

The guardian angels are working for me[00:04:00]

What you saw you didn't see[00:04:04]

The guardian angels are working for me[00:04:08]
