[00:00:00] 23rd (Album Version) - John Cooper Clarke

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

[00:00:07] You can count on him

[00:00:10] He'll always let you down

[00:00:14] While you hang about for him

[00:00:16] He's in another town

[00:00:20] He gets from A to B

[00:00:23] He can't see eye to eye

[00:00:27] With anyone if you ask me

[00:00:31] He doesn't try

[00:00:34] Check his empty pockets

[00:00:37] Check 'em more than once

[00:00:41] He hasn't got it

[00:00:43] Whatever it is that you want

[00:00:47] Energy is a four letter word

[00:00:51] He doesn't buy

[00:00:54] Here he comes now 23rd

[00:00:58] He doesn't try

[00:01:01] Compassion it isn't necessary

[00:01:04] His sickness is an act

[00:01:07] He'll make you an accessory

[00:01:11] After this obvious fact

[00:01:15] You must excuse him

[00:01:18] Ask his mother why

[00:01:22] You can't abuse him

[00:01:25] He doesn't try

[00:01:28] It doesn't pay to help him

[00:01:32] He's somewhere else

[00:01:35] Tell I'm you can't tell him

[00:01:38] He's a fool to himself

[00:01:41] What's in it for me you know the kind

[00:01:45] Always saying why

[00:01:49] Two weeks behind

[00:01:52] He doesn't try

[00:01:56] Bikes buses trucks and trains

[00:01:59] Gangways ladders and ramps

[00:02:03] A seemingly endless chain

[00:02:05] Of pickpockets and tramps

[00:02:09] He wears the look of false

[00:02:11] Alarm like an old school tie

[00:02:16] Someone ought to twist his arm

[00:02:20] He doesn't try

[00:02:44] Laugh it isn't funny

[00:02:47] No respect for pain

[00:02:50] If you give him money

[00:02:53] He slings it down the drain

[00:02:57] You're looking for Mr. Right

[00:03:00] His type need not apply

[00:03:04] He won't play the white man

[00:03:07] He doesn't try
