[00:00:00] Salome Maloney (Album Version) - John Cooper Clarke

[00:00:00] Written by：John Cooper Clarke

[00:00:00] I was walking down Oxford Road

[00:00:03] Dressed in what they call the mode

[00:00:05] I could hear them spinning all their smash hits

[00:00:08] At the mecca of the modern dance the Ritz

[00:00:11] My feet foxtrotted

[00:00:13] My shoulders did the shimmy

[00:00:15] The bouncer on the door said a gimme gimme gimme

[00:00:18] I gave 'em the tickets they gave me the shits

[00:00:21] No healthy arguments in the Ritz

[00:00:24] Standing by the cig' machine who did I see

[00:00:27] In lurex and terylene she hypnotised me

[00:00:30] I asked her name she said it's

[00:00:33] Salome Maloney queen of the Ritz

[00:00:36] Lacquered in a beehive

[00:00:37] Her barnet didn't budge

[00:00:39] Wet look lips she smiled as sweet as fudge

[00:00:42] She had a number on her back

[00:00:44] And sequins on her tits

[00:00:45] The sartorial requirements

[00:00:47] For females in the Ritz

[00:00:49] A man making like Fred Astaire

[00:00:50] Complete with spats and tails

[00:00:52] A Douglas Fairbanks moustache

[00:00:54] Dirty fingernails

[00:00:56] Whose snide innuendo was as subtle as the blitz

[00:00:59] Waltzed off with Salome in his greasy little mitts

[00:01:02] Standing in the dandruff light

[00:01:04] Trying to get pissed

[00:01:05] Amongst the headlice old spice Brut and body mist

[00:01:09] How can she be seen dead

[00:01:10] Dancing with that tit

[00:01:12] Her being Salome el supremo of the Ritz

[00:01:16] Tables flew bottles broke

[00:01:17] The bouncers shouted lumber

[00:01:19] The dummy got too chummy

[00:01:20] In a Bing Crosby number

[00:01:22] The bouncers said it's suicide

[00:01:25] Trying to get your mitts

[00:01:26] On Salome Maloney the queen of the Ritz

[00:01:29] When the ambulances came

[00:01:30] She was lying on the deck

[00:01:32] She'd fell off her stiletto heels

[00:01:34] And broke her f**king neck

[00:01:36] The band threw down their instruments

[00:01:37] The management threw fits

[00:01:39] She's dead she don't bring the business to the Ritz

[00:01:42] The over twenty-ones night said it was a shame

[00:01:45] The divorcee club will never be the same

[00:01:49] Joe loss killed himself and Vic Sylvester quit

[00:01:52] When the death dance drama did away with the Ritz

[00:01:55] When the last waltz withered

[00:01:57] And the quickstep stopped

[00:01:58] The ladies' excuse me was permanently blocked

[00:02:02] And now mecca make a living

[00:02:03] Selling little bits

[00:02:04] Of Salome Maloney

[00:02:06] In the wreckage of the Ritz
