Clockwork Creep
"I'm a clockwork creepAnd I can't get to sleepThey wind me up and let me goAnd I can't unwindGoing out of my mindMy time is coming soon you know"

Meanwhile in the cargo of escargotThe temperature is risingAdvertising that our time is runningDown, down, down, down, downOh with just one minute to liveOh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again'Cos what goes up must comeDown, down, down, down, downDown, down, down, down, down
Oh, the gravity of the situationIt's only my willpowerThat keeps this thing in operationBut we're gonna crash that's for certainThe pilot is too busy flirtin'And he ain't awareThat there's a bomb down thereAnd if he don't do something it's curtains

My landings are the envyOf Sabena and Pan AmFrom Chattanooga to JapanI taxi through the airways -What a swell little planeWhat a fine little planeWhat a great little planeI am
"Hang on one secI'm a clockwork wreckAnd though my fuse is burning slowMust keep my date to detonateGoodbye, ta ta, and cheerio
