[00:00:00] Midnight Shift (Radio 1 Live Version) - John Cooper Clarke

[00:00:02] Written by：John Cooper Clarke/James Hannett/Stephen Hopkins

[00:00:28] There's a body in the basement

[00:00:31] The TV's full of guns

[00:00:35] In the room adjacent

[00:00:39] Cold water runs

[00:00:43] The sound of cisterns

[00:00:45] Sizzling bacon or chips

[00:00:49] Footsteps in the distance

[00:00:52] She's working on the midnight shift

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

[00:01:00] Start jumping jack

[00:01:03] You're the bluebird over her shoulder

[00:01:06] The monkey on her back

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

[00:01:13] There's a message in the gift

[00:01:17] You got more than she could spare

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

[00:01:24] Feedback screams on a twisted riff

[00:01:28] Luxembourg by night

[00:01:31] The cheapjack dream of the midnight shift

[00:01:35] Doesn't work out right

[00:01:38] He's got to shoot he's got to shoot

[00:01:42] Put his face about

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

[00:01:48] With the tounge hanging out

[00:01:52] The perfume of the essence rare

[00:01:55] That lingers in the lift

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

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

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

[00:02:09] To the wonderland of vice

[00:02:13] You're gonna find her on the midnight shift

[00:02:16] With feet like blocks of ice

[00:02:20] She carried water for the mainman

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

[00:02:27] She married a door to door salesman

[00:02:30] Who worked away all week

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

[00:02:37] Until the final rift

[00:02:42] She didn't have a thing to wear

[00:02:44] She had to work on the midnight shift

[00:02:48] You're gonna find her frozen stiff

[00:02:52] You think you been hurt

[00:02:55] You're gonna find her on the midnight shift

[00:02:58] Standing in the dirt

[00:03:58] You like to put yourself about

[00:04:01] Like the main man about town

[00:04:05] She needs someone to help her out

[00:04:08] But that's where you keep falling down

[00:04:12] Was there ever a thing so fair

[00:04:15] That smashed itself to bits

[00:04:19] Sometimes you get nowhere

[00:04:22] Working on the midnight shift

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

[00:04:29] Eyes that never shut

[00:04:33] A million spears gonna pierce your heart

[00:04:36] It's the death of a thousand cuts

[00:04:39] A million souls all running scared

[00:04:43] Or else they only drift

[00:04:48] You won't find her anywhere

[00:04:50] She's working on the midnight shift

[00:04:54] You're gonna find her on the hit list

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

[00:05:01] You're gonna find her on the midnight shift

[00:05:06] What a f**kin' drag

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

[00:05:11] The visitors arrive

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

[00:05:18] Crunching up the drive

[00:05:22] Flat footsteps on the stairs

[00:05:25] Bad news travels swift

[00:05:29] Sometimes you get nowhere

[00:05:32] Working on the midnight shift
