《The Face Behind the Scream》歌词

[00:00:00] The Face Behind the Scream - John Cooper Clarke

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

[00:00:13] This case appears to be urgent

[00:00:15] Kindly pull the screen

[00:00:17] Cosmetic surgeon

[00:00:18] The son of Mr. Sheen

[00:00:20] Is Jerry building versions

[00:00:21] Of the face behind the scream

[00:00:27] The girl who would be beauty queen

[00:00:29] Tells the doctor of her dream

[00:00:30] In which she reads a magazine

[00:00:32] Wearing only cold cream

[00:00:34] They call her the face behind the scream

[00:00:40] The image he maintains

[00:00:42] And the silence he observes

[00:00:44] Says it's worth a little pain

[00:00:45] For the figure we both deserve

[00:00:47] A cowboy by profession since the age of 17

[00:00:50] Whose singular obsession is the face behind the scream

[00:00:57] The girl who would be beauty queen

[00:00:59] Tells the doctor of her dream

[00:01:00] A soiree in the mezzanine

[00:01:02] And castanets and tambourines

[00:01:04] A careless word and ugly scenes

[00:01:07] The doctor knows he's made for good impressions on demand

[00:01:10] The new nose in the neighbourhood was fashioned by these hands

[00:01:14] He can do it blindfold his instruments are clean

[00:01:17] A snapshot in his mind holds the face behind the scream

[00:01:27] The girl who would be beauty queen

[00:01:29] Diamond rivets in her jeans

[00:01:31] Wild and with it even off screen

[00:01:34] He then removes the bandage and the odd remaining scab

[00:01:37] A flair for fancy language

[00:01:40] The gift of the gab

[00:01:41] Hands you a sandwich and applies the Vaseline

[00:01:44] To show to best advantage the face behind the scream

[00:01:51] The girl who would be beauty queen

[00:01:53] Tells the doctor of her dream

[00:01:54] In which she turns her money green

[00:01:56] Finds herself in a funny scene

[00:01:58] Cracks up like a shatterproof windscreen

[00:02:01] Danke schoen ich liebe dich I promise not to hurt

[00:02:04] A telephone receiver clicks red alert

[00:02:08] Whatever you do don't touch that switch the doctor goes to work

[00:02:11] With his bag of tricks in his limousine

[00:02:13] Mug shots from magazines

[00:02:15] Face creams and photo fits

[00:02:16] To fit the face that doesn't fit

[00:02:18] The face behind the scream

[00:02:55] The girl who would be beauty queen

[00:02:57] Surrounded by the regular team

[00:02:58] Of Pluto brats and coma teens

[00:03:00] In bowler hats and brilliantine

[00:03:01] Or bold cravats of bottle green

[00:03:03] Such a precious little dream

[00:03:05] To be taken to extremes

[00:03:07] How many times can you be 16

[00:03:09] They call her the face behind the scream
