Part 1, play till start of verse

(silence)
Well the sun grew dim and the night grew tall
Everyone's dancing in the dirty dancehall
The chins they did wobble, the eyes did stare
There was a sense of threat in the air

part 2
Everyone's dancing, feeling fine
part 2
But looking like Zombies, as though they're dying
part 2
I stood alone in the darkened room
part 2
My mouth is dry and my heart goes boom

Parts 2 and 3 x4

Part 2
Oh the dogs and the vermin were mooching in the streets
Part 2
Sniffing out the candy and the left over meat
Part 2
Down in the alley a tramp falls asleep
Part 2
Murdering the hooker and chops off their feet

Part 2 alone.

Part 2
Everyone's dancing, feeling fine
Part 2
But looking like Zombies, as though they're dying
Part 2
I stood alone in the darkened room
Part 2
My mouth is dry and my heart goes boom

Part 4
This is just a night in the City of Culture
Part 4
But everyone's whacked and looks like vultures   [4x]

(silence)...Ooh!

Part 2 alone.

Part 2
All the lights came on and the music stopped
Part 2
Men in uniform outside on watch
Part 2
The tramp waits by the bush to pounce
Part 2
Woken up again by a young girl's shout


Part 2
Closing up the club, a fight breaks out
Part 2
All the Black Mariahs were left in no doubt
Part 2
One got killed another one ran
Part 2
They ended up arresting an innocent man

Part 4
This is just a night in the City of Culture
Part 4
But everyone's whacked and looks like vultures [4x]
