Night People

Night People - John Cooper Clarke

Quite a party we have found

Mantovani flooding the lounge

Polite people crazy feet

Night people funky but neat

Burt bacharach a zillion strings

Cool aromatic luxury surroundings

See no evil cheat cheat

Night people funky but neat

Mr cavendish meets elizabeth

What happens is none of my business

Quite legal short and sweet

Night people funky but neat

Stereo headphones whisper and shout

Invisible saxophones fade in and out

Like treacle tacky but sweet

Night people funky but neat

Twilight restaurants you get it on a plate

No matter what you want

But you've got to wait

Don't get the needle and never speak

Night people funky but neat

I like the nightlife give me danger

I had a nice wife she was a stranger

One of the people I never meet

Night people funky but neat

Quite a party we have found

Maseratis afghan hounds

The right people the wrong street

Night people funky but neat
