D                   Bm    G
Gravitated towards a taste
D                          Bm     G
For foreign films and modern plays
D
But that machine could only
Bm               G
Bend to squares five to six times
   D                     Bm    G
Before your fingers came unwired

Chorus:
D                                    Bm
Weights down so that you could move forwards,
forwards
                   Em
so you could move forwards, forwards

Pinch to snub that restless nerve
And knock the wind from one last urge
With two fingers in a rock glass
Time passed and that was that
Quite a slip (a loosened grasp)

Chorus

D       Bm         G
What a way to cut lengthwise
