Mechanical Wonder Lyrics by Ocean Colour Scene

Mechanical Wonder

The mechanical wonder is
Its just a noise in my room
And Im chasing the wonder and
Its just a hole in my tune

And the radio plays but it
But it dont sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is
What is all going wrong

And I walk down the road and i
I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is
Its just a noise in my room

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I walk with you
Where the locks take flight

All machines make our lives today
And I like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is
Its just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me
But it dont sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is
Ah, its all going wrong

And they rode it once ["and we rode it once" on last chorus]
On a thundering night
So I walk with you
Where the locks take flight
And we keep on through
Its where the road dont roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time

The machines that Im walking from
Though they play in the songs
And the dreams that your holding on
Dont run for so long

So Im hiding machines away
But I keep them for you
But the things that you wanna say
Its just a noise in my room

And I look at the picture now
And theres a weight on us all
But the mechanical wonder is
Its a cure one and all

Repeat full chorus with slight variation
