Lyrics
STEAMPUNK TIME MACHINE – Alan Fennah
VERSE 1
I wish I had a steampunk time machine
With a red buttoned velvet chair
I climb aboard it
Set the co-ordinate
And travel back to find you there
MIDDLE 1
I only want to go back to Saturday night
When we broke up in one hell of a fight
Now I regret all the things I said
I want to turn back time cause I wish I was dead….
VERSE 2
If I had a a steampunk time machine
That could take me anywhere
I’ll fix the timeline
So you’ll still be mine
I’ll do it just to show that I care.
MIDDLE 2
Then we could go back to ‘63
To watch The Beatles and the Rolling Stones
We could visit any place in history
But there’s just one thing that I need to own.
CHORUS
All I need is that steampunk time machine
All I want is that steampunk time machine
INSTRUMENTAL SOLO
VERSE 1
I wish I had a steampunk time machine
With a red buttoned velvet chair
I climb aboard it
Set the co-ordinate
And travel back to find you there
MIDDLE 3
If I can undo all the things, I’ve done
So we’re not washed up on the rocks
And who’s to say it shouldn’t be that way
‘Cause I’m already living in a paradox…
CHORUS / OUTRO
All I need is that steampunk time machine
All I want is that steampunk time machine
All I need is that steampunk time machine
All I want is that steampunk time machine
With a red buttoned velvet chair
That could take me anywhere
With a red buttoned velvet chair
