Clockwork Creep - 10cc

"I'm a clockwork creep 
And I can't get to sleep 
They wind me up and let me go 
And I can't unwind 
Going out of my mind 
My time is coming soon you know" 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
"I'm a jumbo jet 
With a brand new set 
Of passengers and bags and crew 
I'll spread my wings - 
Do a thousand things 
To prove how good I am to you" 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Meanwhile in the cargo of escargot 
The temperature is rising 
Advertising that our time is running 
Down, down, down, down, down 
Oh with just one minute to live 
Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again 
`Cos what goes up must come 
Down, down, down, down, down 
Down, down, down, down, down 
Oh, the gravity of the situation 
It's only my willpower 
That keeps this thing in operation 
But we're gonna crash that's for certain 
The pilot is too busy flirtin' 
And he ain't aware 
That there's a bomb down there 
And if he don't do something it's curtains 
"Now just hold on," 
Said the little bomb, 
"If you were just to hold my hands 
Then time would stop 
The plot would flop 
And jumbo would be safe to land" 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
My landings are the envy 
Of Sabena and Pan Am 
From Chattanooga to Japan 
I taxi through the airways - 
What a swell little plane 
What a fine little plane 
What a great little plane 
I am 
"Hang on one sec 
I'm a clockwork wreck 
And though my fuse is burning slow 
Must keep my date to detonate 
Goodbye, ta ta, and cheerio 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a tick a time bomb 
Tick a........."
