The Machine That Cried

It's all right pinning your faith in youth

Cos you there's one saving grace

It buds and it blossoms and it flies for a while

And then it starts to fade away

You're looking at beauty but all that you're seein' is skin

The machine, the machine that cried

The machine, the machine that cried

It's all right facing your life own truth

If everyone believes what you say

The beggar and the tycoon and the honest man

All you need for a day

We're dealing in fiction cos the truth's gonna drive us insane

The machine, the machine that cried

the machine, the machine that cried

Aaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaah

There's a man at the bus stop standing by you

You've seen him and he's seen you

You've seen each other so many times before

It's the bitch on the TV that reads the news

The singers singing that can't sing the blues

The soldier who died but he's still too young to choose

It's the girl you met when you were sixteen

You fell in love but in between

Found that she did not really love you
