The Amazing Machine That Does Not Work - Something For Kate

Somewhere, we’ll meet

Some blue stoned back street

Some black and white scene

Just you, and me, and the amazing machine that does not work

In seprate lives the gentle hum of post-war

For you and I We’re happy here in the sun

I followed you around

I followed you around inside my head

Packed up my bags and unpacked them again

We know this place yeah

We’ve been here before

You’ll find our names,

Their scratched into the wall

We’ll be the last ones out of the door

We could smell the fire but we didn’t shout

We’re down with the ship and we’re over and out

Singing along with the count down

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh…

A big mistake

To talk like there’s no tomorrow

And then it came

We hope, sometimes when hopes are so heavy that

The bird can’t fly

We’ll see, again

I wanted to show them all of the disorder

I wanted to take your hand and stagger to order

We know this place yeah

We’ve seen it before

Look at our names yeah

They’re scratched into the wall

We’ll be the last ones out of the door

We could smell fire but we didn’t shout

We’re down with the ship and we’re over and out

Singing along with the count down

We’re singing along

You and me, we were as thick as thieves

We were trying to steal the same thing…
