Clockwork Creep |
|
"I'm a clockwork creep |
|
And I can't get to sleep |
|
They wind me up and let me go |
|
And I can't unwind |
|
Going out of my mind |
|
My time is coming soon you know" |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
"I'm a jumbo jet |
|
With a brand new set |
|
Of passengers and bags and crew |
|
I'll spread my wings - |
|
Do a thousand things |
|
To prove how good I am to you" |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Meanwhile in the cargo of escargot |
|
The temperature is rising |
|
Advertising that our time is running |
|
Down, down, down, down, down |
|
Oh with just one minute to live |
|
Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again |
|
`Cos what goes up must come |
|
Down, down, down, down, down |
|
Down, down, down, down, down |
|
Oh, the gravity of the situation |
|
It's only my willpower |
|
That keeps this thing in operation |
|
But we're gonna crash that's for certain |
|
The pilot is too busy flirtin' |
|
And he ain't aware |
|
That there's a bomb down there |
|
And if he don't do something it's curtains |
|
"Now just hold on," |
|
Said the little bomb, |
|
"If you were just to hold my hands |
|
Then time would stop |
|
The plot would flop |
|
And jumbo would be safe to land" |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
My landings are the envy |
|
Of Sabena and Pan Am |
|
From Chattanooga to Japan |
|
I taxi through the airways - |
|
What a swell little plane |
|
What a fine little plane |
|
What a great little plane |
|
I am |
|
"Hang on one sec |
|
I'm a clockwork wreck |
|
And though my fuse is burning slow |
|
Must keep my date to detonate |
|
Goodbye, ta ta, and cheerio |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a tick a time bomb |
|
Tick a........." |
