from 1988's "A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck"
Natural splits sunburn jets price marks smart bets
Strikers luck pitch backs heap tips pit slacks
Dressed pints demon shrinks bread drunk dead drinks
Stretch clubs models box draw skin black shocks
Money spines paper lung kidney bingos organ fun
Flag stunt rock stone dole axe crash dive
Breathe thrift take speed double take weekends
Skull row drugs hall colour bars sex calls
Sparkle finds rented rings pretty things clipped wings
Gold street spy fleet scandal food poor treat
Fire run club gun rule mob burn some
Bomb time pop crime stock frame steady climb
Fresh name donor game fair meat all the same

im having an out of body experience (not really). taken back to the late 1980s. alone and decompressing with music on MTVs "120 MInutes" (finally, the family went to bed, fuckers). the week's stress and anxiety of a certain youth were quelled when songs like this were heard. the rhythm, the soothing guitar riffs, and that cooing british voice....life is good.

@Mosux2007 The song equates the marketplace for human body parts (å la the film "Coma") with the commodification (and cheapening) of human life in Thatcher England. This is just my opinion. And as with most Wire songs and all great songs in general, there are probably many more layers of meaning than that.

Always liked the sound of this song, but I could never make out the lyrics. Now I've seen them, will someone PLEASE explain what the HECK this is about?! EXTREMELY odd lyrics!

My favorite Wire song. Bizarre video makes the package complete. Late period, okay, but I actually prefer it and "A Bell Is A Cup" is hands down my favorite Wire record.
