Testo Simpler Machines - Shriekback
Testo della canzone Simpler Machines (Shriekback), tratta dall'album Life In The Loading Bay
I wouldn't say I was an old fool yet
But a time arrives in the lives of men
When a kindly mist enshrouds the holy past
We wouldn't make those mistakes again
The backward glance always a price to pay
For who has lived that time has not battered
As we stand at the mercy of the sun
No longer those whom the daylight flatters
Sometimes a scent on a drifting breeze
Draws us back to when all our hands were clean
When the world seemed comprehensible
What we had with all those simpler machines
And still we yearn for all those simpler machines
Shell-shocked by the speed of life
And nothing broken we know how to mend
Bewildered by such perpetual delights
We want to feel the wheels and architraves again
And preciously, precariously
Robust as porcelain figurines
We take a bow and start to say goodnight
Comrades forever those simpler machines
Locked into history with those simpler machines
The scrapyard stars are glittering tonight
The shards and smithereens
No question it is a sentimental sight
Our toys and tools are all those simpler machines
They'll break your heart all right
Those simpler machines
