《Valley of the Lost Women》歌词

[00:00:00] Valley of the Lost Women - John Cooper Clarke

[00:00:14] The windows are frigidaire icebergs

[00:00:18] Frozen in prickly heat

[00:00:21] The vanishing cream victims

[00:00:24] Are drip-fed amnesia neat

[00:00:27] Where the test card melodies warm you

[00:00:31] In powder blue pseudo Bel Air

[00:00:35] Germs and flies alarm you

[00:00:38] They whisper the word expelair

[00:00:48] The eyes of the night sub-zero

[00:00:52] Peep through the windows of sleep

[00:00:55] Everyone's husband is a hero

[00:00:59] And ghost insurance men creep

[00:01:02] Through the valley of the long-lost women

[00:01:06] Dreaming under the driers

[00:01:09] Eating and sleeping and slimming

[00:01:13] According to what is required

[00:01:16] They walk through three-colour brochures

[00:01:18] Depicting palms on aqua-marine

[00:01:23] In the half-built hotels out of focus

[00:01:26] They're mending the vending machines

[00:01:30] Where sixty Italian love songs

[00:01:33] Are sung to a million guitars

[00:01:36] They lick their frozen drinks on sticks

[00:01:39] Among the men with important cigars

[00:01:44] Numb to the digital numbers

[00:01:47] None two three

[00:01:49] Four five six

[00:01:51] Lost in a far away rhumba

[00:01:54] Where the oil-drums are beaten with sticks

[00:01:58] She left her heart in Frisco

[00:02:01] She left her room in a mess

[00:02:04] She left her hat in the disco

[00:02:08] She never left her address

[00:02:11] The diving board springs to assistance

[00:02:15] Throws you off from the shore

[00:02:18] Telephones ring in the distance

[00:02:22] There are lifts getting stuck between floors

[00:02:25] A truck turns into a cul-de-sac

[00:02:29] Springtime turns to ice

[00:02:32] Rucksacks turn into hunchbacks

[00:02:36] Musclemen turn into mice

[00:02:39] In a painless panorama

[00:02:42] With its perpendicular might

[00:02:46] The women are going bananas

[00:02:49] And disappearing from sight

[00:02:59] What do the girls say
