Neil Halstead - Oh! Mighty Engine lyrics

Cindy writes a paragraph Says time is pa**ing But the bubbles in her heart are everlasting Yeah, she gave her life to art And who could blame her? It's pretty major Fraught with danger and stuff Like that Oh, mighty engine Of good intention You're purring softly beside me Grinding gently inside me Tapping totally madly For you Says the plot is getting strange It's taken over And the hero's run away And no one told her But she can't control the page It's taken over There's people dying, semicolons crying And full stops finding fault Oh, what a dolt Cindy writes of kerosene And broken bottles Says the troubles were a part of someone's childhood But she can't get past the point Where someone's dying It's pretty minor A pithy liner should sort it out But he won't die He just mucks about Oh, it's so hard Now we've broken out the gin It helps her thinking And given into sin We're breathing deeply But something's on her mind A chapter stirring Her mind is whirling And off she trots To tap her keys to the top Oh, she's off Mighty engine Of good intention You're purring softly beside me Grinding gently inside me Tapping totally madly For you
