Adrienne Young Nipper`s Corner Lyrics

Nipper`s Corner Lyrics

Nipper’s Corner



Bumping down the county road, some sneaky in the beat

Agnes sighs and checks her thighs she’s moving…movin’ through the

Heat, it takes a heavy toll that the people love to pay

So get your roll of dimes and your sippin’ wine

‘Cause forgettin’ time’s the order of the day



Yellow bus drops Gospel Jones, he lost that eye in ‘43

With a soggy smile, he’ll preach a while about losin’

Losin’ nothing but a state of mind like a roll of dice,

You gotta let ‘em fall where they may

But the gospel’s gold is in the glass he holds

And ain’t nobody gonna take it away



Token stories, trading glory for the flame

Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul



Detroit hank looking for some love raises a glass to Lemon Klein

Looking bold, she’s off parole and gleaming

Scheming from behind a different bar and a darker star

Where everyone takes a seat

‘Cos when yer fightin time & yer soaked with wine

You forget that you can leave



Gospel’s watching Agnes dancing near the flame

Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul

Heated prancing she keeps dancing with pain

Gospel’ssinging – Nipper’s Corner’s gonna blow



Bumpin’ down the county road, some sneaky in the beat

Agnes sighs and drops her eyes

She’s movin’…
