Midnight Shift - John Cooper Clarke[00:00:00]

There's a body in the basement[00:00:29]

The TV's full of guns[00:00:32]

In the room adjacent[00:00:36]

Cold water runs[00:00:39]

The sound of cisterns[00:00:43]

Sizzling bacon or chips[00:00:46]

Footsteps in the distance[00:00:49]

She's working on the midnight shift[00:00:53]

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

Start jumping Jack[00:01:00]

You're the bluebird over her shoulder[00:01:04]

The monkey on her back[00:01:07]

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

There's a message in the gift[00:01:14]

You got more than she could spare[00:01:18]

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

Feedback screams on a twisted riff[00:01:25]

Luxembourg by night[00:01:28]

The cheapjack dream of the midnight shift[00:01:32]

Doesn't work out right[00:01:36]

He's got to shoot he's got to shoot[00:01:39]

Put his face about[00:01:43]

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

With the tounge hanging out[00:01:49]

The perfume of the essence rare[00:01:53]

That lingers in the lift[00:01:56]

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

She's working on the nidnight shift[00:02:03]

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

To the wonderland of vice[00:02:10]

You're gonna find her on the midnight shift[00:02:14]

With feet like blocks of ice[00:02:17]

She carried water for the mainman[00:02:21]

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

She married a door-to-door salesman[00:02:28]

Who worked away all week[00:02:31]

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

Until the final rift[00:02:38]

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[00:02:49]

You think you been hurt[00:02:53]

You're gonna find her on the midnight shift[00:02:56]

Standing in the dirt[00:02:59]

You like to put yourself about[00:03:59]

Like the main man about town[00:04:02]

She needs somebody 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[00:04:20]

Working on the midnight shift[00:04:23]

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

Eyes that never shut[00:04:30]

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[00:04:40]

Or else they only drift[00:04:44]

You find her anywhere[00:04:48]

She's working on the midnight shift[00:04:51]

You're gonna find her on the hit list[00:04:55]

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

You're gonna find her on the midnight shift[00:05:02]

What a drag[00:05:06]

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

The visitors arrive[00:05:12]

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

Crunching up the drive[00:05:19]

Flat footsteps on the stairs[00:05:23]

Bad news travels swift[00:05:26]

Sometimes you get nowhere[00:05:30]

Working on the midnight shift[00:05:33]
