Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : John Mondelli
[00:08.91] I once knew a girl with a heart of gold
[00:11.05] Two legs of copper and arms of chrome
[00:12.86] The prettiest girl I ever knew
[00:14.76] I loved each rivet, bolt and screw
[00:16.90] Shiny locks of wire hair
[00:18.65] And copper plating everywhere
[00:20.55] There was no doubt she had to be
[00:22.54] The one and only girl for me
[00:24.89] But she was the daughter of a mean old man,
[00:26.73] An inventor who just wouldn't let her go
[00:28.59] And though his creation had grown fond of me,
[00:30.53] His continual responses told me no
[00:32.87] So we made a plan to elope that day
[00:34.47] We packed our kisses to the far away
[00:36.41] I went to her window late that night
[00:38.41] And she was ready for our flight
[00:40.43] I was happy as I could be
[00:42.38] When she wrapped her tiny metal arms round me
[00:44.22] And with a propeller sticking from her head
[00:46.21] We switched it on and fled!
[01:04.83] But her father was a crazy man
[01:06.87] And he didn't want to let us get away
[01:08.68] He was able to pull us from the sky that night
[01:10.67] With a powerful magnetic ray
[01:12.89] So he took my girl from me
[01:14.88] And shunned me for eternity
[01:16.69] He locked her up inside a room
[01:18.63] As cold and awful as a tomb
[01:20.77] And though I am consumed with rage
[01:22.57] I know that man is up in age
[01:24.51] And soon as he is finally dead
[01:26.60] Then she and I will wed!
[01:28.57] La, la, la la la
[01:30.47] La, la la la la la la
[01:32.41] La, la, la la la
[01:34.31] La, la la la la la la
[01:36.56] La, la, la la la

[01:54.16] "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news.
[01:56.86] At approximately 2:05 PM this afternoon,
[01:59.59] an English clockmaker by the name of Hamilton
[02:01.74] revealed to the world a new kind of clock.
[02:04.74] This sick, twisted design displays the time
[02:07.84] digitally on a small backlit screen
[02:10.17] and is run entirely on electricity.
[02:13.77] Hamilton predicts that this new abomination
[02:16.12] is the way of the future,
[02:17.26] and believes that someday these hideous creations of his
[02:19.26] will be in every home in the world.
[02:22.84] It is with deep regret that we announce to you,dear listeners,
[02:25.96] that the cog is dead.We repeat:
[02:29.35] The cog is dead."
