"Leave The Engine Room" lyrics
"Leave The Engine Room"
Baby gets born, rolls on his back, opens his eyes and hears a voice
a-saying oh...
I'll tell you a secret about yourself
I'll tell you a secret about yourself
Your father was bad, his father was bad, his father was bad need I go any further on...?
You not gonna try to involve yourself, your pliable head is a walking hope
Cos even now, there's a bone snapping
Doughy embyro
Bloody hands clapping, the blood is clapping
If all the boys say you did it, and all the girls say you did it
And if all the boys say you did it, and all the girls say you did it
Then man, you're as guilty as the ones the came before
You sleepwalked over here, the drawbridge creaks ignored
So leave the engine room and go
Leave the engine room and build a road
Leave the engine room, the steam will peter out and
I'm tired of the centuries passing, the vacuum and the womb
And I respect that things have changed and I'm alone
And I remember snatches here, and I involve myself with utter madness
Leave me lounging
With my nerves butchered
And the ceiling torched
In the birth canal
Cos even now
There's a bomb dropping, it's ever dropping
Cos all the boys say I did it, and all the girls say I did it, and mother all the boys say I did it
And all the girls say I did it
And man, I'm as guilty as the ones that came before
Thanks to Triston for correcting these lyrics.

Darwin Deez - "Up In The Clouds" We used to walk up in the sky
Up where the air is rarefied
Went hand-in-hand from cloud to cloud

Down to the ground
