Clockwork Creep

"i'm a clockwork creep

And i can't get to sleep

They wind me up and let me go

And i can't unwind

Going out of my mind

My time is coming soon you know"

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

"i'm a jumbo jet

With a brand new set

Of passengers and bags and crew

I'll spread my wings -

Do a thousand things

To prove how good i am to you"

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Meanwhile in the cargo of escargot

The temperature is rising

Advertising that our time is running

Down, down, down, down, down

Oh with just one minute to live

Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again

`cos what goes up must come

Down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down

Oh, the gravity of the situation

It's only my willpower

That keeps this thing in operation

But we're gonna crash that's for certain

The pilot is too busy flirtin'

And he ain't aware

That there's a bomb down there

And if he don't do something it's curtains

"now just hold on,"

Said the little bomb,

"if you were just to hold my hands

Then time would stop

The plot would flop

And jumbo would be safe to land"

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

My landings are the envy

Of sabena and pan am

From chattanooga to japan

I taxi through the airways -

What a swell little plane

What a fine little plane

What a great little plane

I am

"hang on one sec

I'm a clockwork wreck

And though my fuse is burning slow

Must keep my date to detonate

Goodbye, ta ta, and cheerio

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a........."
