0:38So this is the age of the train
0:41All aboard for the labour exchange
0:44My mind is running away with me
0:47I'm a shop worn sales campaign
0:50Trapped behind yellow cellophane
0:53My mind is running away with
0:56Everything I ever learnt
0:58Comes knocking at my head
1:01What you thought was
1:03Way too much is not enough
1:07They tell you day after day
1:10To make your way
1:11Through the factory gates
1:13What you make on the factory floor
1:16You take straight to the company store
1:19They tell you day after day
1:22To make your way
1:23Through the factory gates
1:25'Til they can't break your will anymore
1:28You are contractually tied to death's door
1:38I never left the town I was made in
1:41In Wicker's World I'm Michael Palin
1:43My mind is running away with me
1:47I record every one of my failings
1:49By tying bread bags on to the railings
1:53My mind is running away with
1:55Everyone you ever loved
1:58Comes knocking down your door
2:01And what you thought was
2:02Way too much is not enough
2:07They tell you day after day
2:10To make your way through the factory gates
2:13What you make on the factory floor
2:15You take straight to the company store
2:18They tell you day after day
2:21To make your way through the factory gates
2:24'Til they can't break your will anymore
2:27You are contractually tied to death's door
2:30Not enough not enough
2:33I want wider than this island
2:36Not enough not enough
2:39I want brighter than a diamond
2:43Everything you've ever known
2:46Is in these city walls
2:48What you thought is way too much
2:51Is not enough it's not enough
2:54And when you thought it's way
2:56Too much it's not enough
3:00They tell you day after day
3:03To make your way through the factory gates
3:06What you make on the factory floor
3:09You take straight to the company store
3:12They tell you day after day
3:15To make your way through the factory gates
3:18'Til they can't break your will anymore
3:21You are contractually tied to death's door
3:24'Til they can't break your will anymore
3:27You are contractually tied to death's door
So this is the age of the train All aboard for the labour exchange My mind is running away with me I'm a shop worn sales campaign Trapped behind yellow cellophane My mind is running away with Everything I ever learnt Comes knocking at my head What you thought was Way too much is not enough They tell you day after day To make your way Through the factory gates What you make on the factory floor You take straight to the company store They tell you day after day To make your way Through the factory gates 'Til they can't break your will anymore You are contractually tied to death's door I never left the town I was made in In Wicker's World I'm Michael Palin My mind is running away with me I record every one of my failings By tying bread bags on to the railings My mind is running away with Everyone you ever loved Comes knocking down your door And what you thought was Way too much is not enough They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates What you make on the factory floor You take straight to the company store They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates 'Til they can't break your will anymore You are contractually tied to death's door Not enough not enough I want wider than this island Not enough not enough I want brighter than a diamond Everything you've ever known Is in these city walls What you thought is way too much Is not enough it's not enough And when you thought it's way Too much it's not enough They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates What you make on the factory floor You take straight to the company store They tell you day after day To make your way through the factory gates 'Til they can't break your will anymore You are contractually tied to death's door 'Til they can't break your will anymore You are contractually tied to death's door
