Leave The Engine Room

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
