《Limbo(Baby Limbo)》歌词

[00:00:00] Limbo (Baby Limbo) - John Cooper Clarke

[00:00:01] Written by：John Cooper Clarke/Martin Hannett/Steve Hopkins

[00:00:38] Their lives are a mystery

[00:00:39] They make it their career

[00:00:42] In the single files of history

[00:00:45] Fall and disappear

[00:00:48] Swearing they'll get even

[00:00:51] With all those other creeps

[00:00:54] Philistines and heathens

[00:00:57] They violently sleep

[00:00:59] Or steal from cigarette machines

[00:01:02] Just for the change

[00:01:04] To get back to where they've been

[00:01:07] A doorway in the rain

[00:01:16] Back in the confession box

[00:01:19] Back in the slums

[00:01:21] Desire burns like chicken pox

[00:01:24] Underneath the thumbs

[00:01:26] A refugee from purgatory

[00:01:31] The only girl is

[00:01:34] Wears a crown of thorns

[00:01:37] Turns out she's a gringo

[00:01:40] Of hard circumstance

[00:01:43] Limbo baby limbo

[00:01:45] They want to see you dance

[00:01:57] Take the tradesman's entrance

[00:01:59] Take it out on a tramp

[00:02:02] Every f**king sentence

[00:02:04] Complains about the damp

[00:02:07] The only girl is a faint cry

[00:02:10] In the garden of cement

[00:02:13] Wait until the paint dries

[00:02:16] It's a big event

[00:02:18] Look through heaven's window

[00:02:20] With their opalescent panes

[00:02:24] Limbo baby limbo

[00:02:26] Down the boulevard of shame

[00:02:35] Saint Margaret dies intact

[00:02:38] Hardly seems alert

[00:02:40] Her stone gaze denies the fact

[00:02:43] Her face hurts

[00:02:46] The extra legal image

[00:02:48] The cold cream skin

[00:02:52] The regal gimmicks

[00:02:55] Did you in

[00:02:57] Look through heaven's window

[00:02:59] You see the powder blue veil

[00:03:02] The cover girl of limbo

[00:03:05] The sweetheart of the jail

[00:03:11] Gypsy babies hop scotch

[00:03:13] Outside the silver gates

[00:03:16] The witch doctor's wristwatch

[00:03:19] Is stuck at five to eight

[00:03:21] A bad break a slight ache

[00:03:24] Is every ones complaint

[00:03:27] Flesh flakes like angel cake

[00:03:29] From mug shots of the saints

[00:03:32] Who fell from a window

[00:03:35] Was never seen again

[00:03:38] 'Til he turns up in limbo

[00:03:40] In a doorway in the rain

[00:03:54] A hero rides to heaven

[00:03:57] The public only rots

[00:04:00] For a fraction of forever

[00:04:02] In a designated spot

[00:04:06] Eternally paralysed

[00:04:08] A morbid orbit shift

[00:04:11] Halfway to paradise

[00:04:14] Stuck in the lifts

[00:04:16] Some smart crackin' bimbo

[00:04:18] Say's you can't be employed

[00:04:22] Sends you off to limbo

[00:04:24] On the stairway to a void
