Brass Goggles Lyrics\r
Music & Lyrics by Christopher Bennett\r
Composed by Jonathan Sprague\r
\r
\r
(Attune your ears to the grinding gears)\r
Come with me Ill show you how to be a metal man\r
When the gears are turning and the fires are burning\r
When the world ticks around you, \r
voices tocking all the time\r
And you live for sleep youve never slept\r
because you cannot sleep\r
\r
Colonel Walter was shocked \r
when he learned from the Nile\r
Copper African elephants turning hostile\r
So he built these wonderful automaton bloaks\r
And a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes\r
\r
Now the war is passed and over\r
Were left to sit and wonder\r
What is life and what is real?\r
And why do living things need feeling?\r
(One, two, three)\r
\r
Chorus: \r
La-Da-Da-Da-Da (x3)\r
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da\r
\r
La-Da-Da-Da-Da (x2)\r
La-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-Da\r
\r
Howd you like to try pumping \r
lead through your veins\r
Or have a heart so wet and cold it starts rusting\r
When the world ticks around you, \r
voices tocking all the time\r
You live for feelings youve never felt \r
because you cannot feel\r
\r
And what is this leaking affecting my eye?\r
Does the oil that is dripping mean this is a cry?\r
Will I ever be something with feelings to hide?\r
Or am I just a boiler with nothing inside?\r
\r
I want all today\r
Dont want to hear you say\r
You cant do this, you cant do that\r
Youre not a living thing with feeling\r
(One, two, three)\r
\r
(Chorus)\r
\r
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles!)\r
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles!)\r
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles, goggles, goggles!)\r
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass googles!)\r
\r
(Part 1 & 2 together)\r
\r
Part 1: \r
I want all today\r
Dont want to hear you say\r
I love you, I love you\r
I love-love-love you\r
\r
Part 2:\r
Colonel Walter was shocked when he learned from the Nile\r
Copper African elephants turning hostile\r
So he built these wonderful automaton bloaks\r
And a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes\r
\r
\r
Wind me up, turn the gears (x4)\r
\r
(Chorus)
