10CC lyrics : "Clockwork Creep"

"I'm a clockwork creep
And I can't get to sleep
They wind me up and let me go

And I can't unwind
Going out of my mind
My time is coming soon you know"


Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

"I'm a jumbo jet

With a brand new set
Of passengers and bags and crew
I'll spread my wings -

Do a thousand things
To prove how good I am to you"


Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb


Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Meanwhile in the cargo of escargot

The temperature is rising
Advertising that our time is running
Down, down, down, down, down

Oh with just one minute to live
Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again
'Cos what goes up must come

Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down


Oh, the gravity of the situation
It's only my willpower
That keeps this thing in operation

But we're gonna crash that's for certain
The pilot is too busy flirtin'
And he ain't aware

That there's a bomb down there
And if he don't do something it's curtains


"Now just hold on,"
Said the little bomb,
"If you were just to hold my hands

Then time would stop
The plot would flop
And jumbo would be safe to land"


Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

My landings are the envy

Of Sabena and Pan Am
From Chattanooga to Japan
I taxi through the airways -

What a swell little plane
What a fine little plane
What a great little plane

I am

"Hang on one sec

I'm a clockwork wreck
And though my fuse is burning slow
Must keep my date to detonate

Goodbye, ta ta, and cheerio

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb


Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a tick a time bomb
Tick a tick a time bomb

Tick a........."
