Word Factory
Album: Time Flies... But Aeroplanes Crash e.p.
Release Date: October 1983
In the silence of a grave
In the words of someone's hero
A blue television screen
Words don't mean anything
In this word factory
Replacement parts are free
Pictures of failed ideas
Only took me fifteen years
All your words cannot describe
The attitudes that lie inside
Subculture killed at birth
Got bored and slowly died
In the silence of a graveyard
Someone's talking to himself
Oh! What a letdown!
Oh! What a boring letdown!
Such a perfect face
Words are such a waste
Let me paint a pictuer of you
And hang it in this empty place
Can I quote from your ideas
Hand your excuses on the wall
Devaluated words
Blown up to mean sod all
Oh! What a letdown!
Oh! What a boring letdown
Did you just say somethin
It must have blown away
Got bored and slowly died
Forget what you have to say
Who wrote this anyway?
