john cooper clarke – thirty-six hours lyrics
36 hours in the mystery chair
36 hours in the quizzical glare
of the naked lights and the visible hardware
another bloke is leaving in a wheelchair
no joke, here comes the punchline
lights out… sack time
steel shoes on the stone cold floor
i hear the screws screaming in the corridor
the bad news and the slammin’ of the door
the “what did i do’s” and the “what am i here for’s”
shades of doubt fall deeper than the slag mine
lights out… sack time
hard cheese and a chest complaint
one man sneezes, another two faint
sufferin’ jesus, this ain’t my venue
the man through the mesh says it’s time to crash
the creeping flesh of a nervous rash
the last man to make a dash
is on the menu
here’s the boss with a mouthful of emeralds
a maltese cross and a pocket full of chemicals
jack frost snappin’ at the genitals
wash my cosh it’s a visit from the general
rule out sub section nine
lights out… sack time
the killer gorilla with the perspex hat
says i say so… and that’s that
take out the dog bring back the cat
scr-pe out the cafeteria rats
stab the rabbit feed the swine lights out… sack time
time flies … slides down the wall
part of me dies under my overalls
i close my eyes and a woman calls
from a nightmare
the chronic breath of the dead collides
with a rattle of the waste disposal slides
no flowers for the man who dies
in the bombscare
he’s in the frigidaire
freezing in these paper jeans
standing stiff in a dead man’s dream
tobacco barons and the closet queen
walk on the walls… w-nk in the beans
shave… sh-t… a shower and a shoe shine
that’s it… sack time
everybody looks like ernest borgnine
that’s it
36 hours on the battery farm
a blindfold and a broken arm
i got the cold shoulder sleepin’ in the barn
whose barn… what barn… their barn
the old soldier and his old-world charm
lift that weight, drag that woodbine
lights out mate sackarooni time
lights out… sack time
