Islington John - Momus.mp3
[00:03.51]This part of to...
[00:03.51]This part of town is all flatfish tramps
[00:10.53]Beautiful women becoming mothers
[00:18.75]All night long the piano grins
[00:26.79]And I sit drinking sweetheart stout
[00:34.92]Hey lonely you, you with the negro face
[00:40.53]Say lonely what time does the music start?
[00:51.00]Suddenly the actress belly laughs
[00:57.93]And I put my hand on hers
[01:05.28]Islington John, time you were gone
[01:08.40]Look at the clock, it's a quarter to one
[01:13.02]And when it strikes the hour
[01:18.66]I will steal your poppy flower
[01:24.96]I get a nosebleed under the blue lamp
[01:32.43]The actress goes up to the ugly man and they kiss
[01:41.52]The wind ruffles the polythene
[01:43.71]On a woman drunk on powdered milk and gas
[01:50.04]Me and the actress meet a crowd walking backwards
[01:58.56]Football fans attacking gypsy caravans
[02:02.46]Someone hits my head from the back
[02:08.58]As I'm peeping at cookery down an extractor stack
[02:12.24]Islington John, time you were gone
[02:21.09]Look at the clock, it's a quarter to one
[02:25.65]And when it strikes the hour
[02:29.79]I will steal your poppy flower
[02:30.96]Cars beep as we flamenco dance on the pavement
[02:46.86]The innards of an old alsatian preserved by frost
[02:53.97]Back at her flat the actress gargles
[02:59.07]and puts on a record by Juliette Greco
[03:03.99]Islington John, time you were gone
[03:11.19]Look at the clock, it's a quarter to one
[03:15.81]And when it strikes the hour
[03:21.57]I will steal your poppy flower
[03:22.59]Islington John lifted the nylon
[03:31.92]Lay amongst the broken antiques and smiled
[03:35.49]Reeking of coffee and piss
[03:39.09]Sober enough just to say this:
[03:42.66]"I will pay for the fire extinguisher
[03:45.69]The sand bucket and case
[03:49.17]If you will let me pay for this man's face"
[03:58.02]Islington John, time you were gone
[04:01.71]Look at the clock, it's a quarter to one
[04:05.97]And when it strikes the hour
[04:10.14]I will steal your poppy flower
[04:17.04]I will steal your poppy flower
[04:24.00]I will steal your poppy flower
