Oh Mighty Engine

Oh! Mighty Engine
 Neil Halstead
 Cindy writes a paragraph
 Says time is passing
 But the bubbles in her heart
 Are everlasting
 Yeah, she gave her life to art
 An who could blame her
 It's pretty major, fraught with danger
 And stuff like that
 Oh, mighty engine of good intention
 You're purring softly beside me
 Grinding gently inside me
 Tapping totally madly for you
 For you
 Says the plot is getting strange
 Taken all new meaning
 And the hero's run away
 And no one stopped him
 But she can't control the page
 It's taken over
 There's people dying, colons crying
 And full stops finding fault
 Oh, what a dolt
 Mighty engine of good intention
 You're purring softly beside me
 Grinding gently inside me
 Tapping totally madly for you
 For you, for you, for you
 Cindy writes of kerosene
 And broken bottles
 Says the troubles were apart
 Of someone's childhood
 But she can't get past the point
 Where someone's dying
 It's pretty minor, a pithy liner
 Should sort it out
 But he won't die, he just muckes about
 Oh, it's so hard
 Now we've broken out the gin
 It helps her thinking
 And given into sin
 We're breathing deeply
 But some thing's on her mind
 A chapter stirring
 Her mind is whirling
 And off she trots
 To tap her keys to the top
 Oh, she's off
 Mighty engine of good intention
 You're purring softly beside me
 Grinding gently inside me
 Tapping totally madly for you
 For you, for you, for you
