Simpler Machines - Shriekback[00:00:00]

I wouldn't say I was an old fool yet[00:00:19]

But a time arrives in the lives of men[00:00:23]

When a kindly mist enshrouds the holy past[00:00:28]

We wouldn't make those mistakes again[00:00:34]

The backward glance always a price to pay[00:00:38]

For who has lived[00:00:42]

That time has not battered[00:00:44]

As we stand at the mercy of the sun[00:00:47]

No longer those whom the daylight flatters[00:00:53]

Sometimes the scent on a drifting breeze[00:00:57]

Draws us back to[00:01:02]

When all of our hands were clean[00:01:03]

When the world seemed comprehensible[00:01:06]

What we had with all those simpler machines[00:01:12]

And still we yearn[00:01:17]

For all those simpler machines[00:01:18]

Shell shocked by the speed of life[00:01:32]

And nothing broken we know how to mend[00:01:35]

Bewildered by such perpetual delights[00:01:41]

We want to feel the wheels[00:01:45]

And architraves again[00:01:47]

And preciously precariously[00:01:50]

Robust as porcelain figurines[00:01:55]

We take a bow and start to say goodnight[00:01:59]

Comrades forever with those simpler machines[00:02:05]

Locked into history with those simpler machines[00:02:09]

The scrapyard stars are glittering tonight[00:02:58]

The shards and smithereens[00:03:03]

No question it is a sentimental sight[00:03:07]

Our toys and tools all[00:03:12]

Of those simpler machines[00:03:14]

They'll break your heart alright[00:03:17]

Those simpler machines[00:03:19]
