Separate rooms and separate people Satisfied and glad and gleeful Everybody living down in the dark Though nothing grows upon the surface Don't you worry don't be nervous Safe in isolated rooms underground Your desires are a button away You never have to leave So relax as the machine Gives you everything you need Endless hours of "Entertainment" Same discussions same arrangements No need to ever be near anyone All the world so disenchanted Sanitised and automatic I don't want to spend my life underground As the cogs rust with the years No one knows how long As the gears begin to wear And things start to go wrong There's a sound you've always heard Of humming engines near But what happens when silence falls? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh In a million years there is no trace Another rock floating through space With everybody lying down in the dark

You spoke to me through a vail of gold And you asked me to sell everything I owned While at that time the telephone was ringing I changed the locks and you let it go And said to forget everything you know Because the show is only just beginning Leave me along Mr Phillips I'm alright by myself Please leave me be Mr Phillips Or at least send somebody else You brought it back where it was before And promised me to speak no more While at that time the kitchen floor was spinning Leave me along Mr Phillips I'm alright by myself Please leave me be Mr Phillips Or at least send somebody else Leave me along Mr Phillips I'm alright by myself Please leave me be Mr Phillips Or at least send somebody else

about

Two new songs I've been working on over summer. The Underground Machine is based on the book "The machine stops" by E. M. Forster. Mr Phillips is a song as well. Hope you enjoy, all the best
