Machines

from Dearly Departed by Bannerman

/

lyrics

I rented the house
Somewhere to play
To write on the walls and wile away
All for the love
Not for the gain
But just for myself

You stopped at my door
Wanting to stay
Just to get warm, a couple of days
Not for the love
Not for the gain
But just for yourself

We’re like machines
And just like machines
We’re run to the ground
And sorry doesn’t explain

We ate by the fire
And talked over tea
Both of us liars, but happy to be
In I was you
And in you were me
And that seemed to help

We’re like machines
And just like machines
We keep breaking down
And sorry doesn’t explain
And it doesn’t matter anyway

We’re not the young ones to save
We’re much too afraid
And we like it here today.
