lyrics

Verse1 A rock falls
The spirit calls
The penny drops
The heart stops
A moment of doubt
A fire breaks out

Chorus He is the catalytic converter
He is the Spanner in the works
He is the fly in the ointment
He is the knee for all your jerks
He is the nutter in the bus queue
He is the cure for all your ills (car for all your thrills - second time)
He is the girl you loved but never spoke to
He is the payment for your bills

Verse2 A light flash
Your car will crash
A light dawns
And your soul mourns
A moment of quiet
And then the riot

Chorus

Middle Something spreads, a knock on effect
Startling change, despite years of neglect
A kind of El Niño, in the spirits of men
When you hear the thunder, what will you do then?
A domino tumbles; the chase has begun
A forest fire started, by the heat of the sun
The secret is out, but could it be true
Everything broken, could one day be new

Verse3 A fuse blows
And everyone knows
Something is wrong
But they won’t tag along
Afraid of the change
The light seems strange

Chorus
