Neil Halstead - Oh Mighty Engine lyrics
Your rating:
Cindy writes a paragraph Says time is passing But the bubbles in her heart Are everlasting Yeah, she gave her life to art And who could blame her It?s pretty major, fraught with danger And stuff like that Oh, mighty engine of good intention You?re purring softly beside me Grinding gently inside me Tapping totally madly for you For you Says the plot is getting strange Taken all new meaning And the hero?s run away And no one stopped him But she can?t control the page It?s taken over There?s people dying, colons crying And full stops finding fault Oh, what a dolt Mighty engine of good intention You?re purring softly beside me Grinding gently inside me For you, for you, for you Cindy writes of kerosene And broken bottles Says the troubles were apart Of someone?s childhood But she can?t get past the point Where someone?s dying It?s pretty minor, a pithy liner Should sort it out But he won?t die, he just mucks about Oh, it?s so hard Now we?ve broken out the gin It helps her thinking And given into sin We?re breathing deeply But some thing?s on her mind A chapter stirring Her mind is whirling And off she trots To tap her keys to the top Oh, she?s off Mighty engine of good intention You?re purring softly beside me Grinding gently inside me Tapping totally madly for you For you, for you, for you
