The machine plays on,
The whole night long
Machinery
I wish I was that grey man
On stage reading poetry
By reciting just a few lines
He takes me back to the sea
Iâm drinking by the Crystal Ship
Enjoying the scenery
Pining away
I canât drive no car and I got no degree
If perhaps youâd need me
La Reine des Plages is where Iâll be
Find me at Bal du Rat Mort at table 23
Iâm the man with many faces,
Many faces,
Oh, maskery
The machine plays on,
The whole night long
Machinery
Iâm six pints deep in a place called The Monkey
I look up in the mirror
When did I turn so ugly?
I look up again and a fleeing coward is all I can see
Pining away
Everyone here thinks Iâm embracing liberty
If perhaps youâd hear this
Come and meet me down at the sea
In a vain hope to restore
What never came to be
The confrontation, the realisation
It just wasnât to be
The cover read
âThis will be our yearâ
Thank you for your services,
We will be taking over from here
