Smallcreep Had Worked For Over Forty Years In The Factory. Till One Day, Tired Of Drilling Holes In The Same Piece Of Steel And Amazed At His Fellow Workers' Lack Of Interest As To What They Were Making, He Decided To Find Out Himself.



The Plant Was So Large That He Roamed For Days Glimpsing Other Worlds That Were Completely Different To His; And Not One Knew Of Another's Existence. At Last He Came To The End Of The Line And There Before Him Lay The Gleaming New Machine.



Satisfied By This Sight And With The Knowledge That In All The Places He Had Been Nothing Was Really Changed, Smallcreep Returned Home.





Between The Tick And The Tock



It's So Very Dark In Here

There's Water On The Wall

I Can See No Lights And What's That Sound

That Droning Far Above The Smoke

And Everywhere I Look Their Eyes Are Watching Me.



Hello My Friend

The Day Is Long And I Am Very Hot

This Metal World

The Lower Half Of Every Face Is Lit

Everytime I Look The Clock Is Calling Me

On The Tick And The Tock.



I've Got My Love To Get Me There

But I've More Pain That I Can Bare

There Is A World To Find And Share

Oh Saturday - Oh Saturday

And I Can See A Dying Race, Who Live Their Lives

On The Tick And The Tock, In Between.



Working In Line



I'm Hopelessly Waiting In Line

For What I Don't Know I Don't Mind

There's Never A Day That Goes By

Without Blood On My Hands In My Hair.



I'm Hopelessly Working In Line

On What I Don't Care I Don't Mind

There's Nothing That I Would Give

To See What Comes Out At The End.



Cats And Rats (In This Neighbourhood)



Say I'm Going, Yes I Am Going In Another Day,

Coz If I Do Go Home I've Nothing Left To Say.

I'm A Man Who Clocked On But Out Of My Life.

When The Lights Go Out Tonight I'll Make My Move.

Too Many Years And All Those Tears Have Gone So Deep Inside Me.

Oh No!
