Lyrics
Artist: Dan Warren
[INTRO]
[A] [F#m] [Bm] [E]

[VERSE]
[A]I ate the paste 'cause I was [F#m]hungry
[Bm]I cried and ran out of the [E]room
[A]My mum and dad, they surely [F#m]love me
[Bm]But we don't always [E]have a lot of [A]food
And all the other kids are [F#m]assholes
[Bm]Making fun of my hand-me-down [E]jeans
[A]Life would be a lot less [F#m]hassle
If I could just [Bm]replace these pointless [E]people with [A]machines

[CHORUS]
[D]The perfect ticking of a [A]clockwork family
[D]Everything happens right on [A]time
[D]Perfect rhythm of a [A]life that can be
[E]Counted on to finally work out fine
[E]So much more reliably than [A]mine

[VERSE]
[A]My uncle Tim is now in [F#m]prison
After [Bm]seven years of being unem[E]ployed
That would [A]never happen to a [F#m]robot
They can only [Bm]break or be re[E]paired or be des[A]troyed
[A]And they don't pass out on the [F#m]sofa
[Bm]Buried in a pile of empty [E]beers
[A]The absolute perfection of [F#m]avuncular affection
In a [Bm]shiny little [E]box of spinning [A]gears

[CHORUS]
[D]The perfect ticking of a [A]clockwork family
[D]Everything happens right on [A]time
[D]Perfect rhythm of a [A]life that can be
[E]Counted on to finally work out fine
[E]So much more reliably than [A]mine

[INTERLUDE]
[A] [F#m] [Bm] [E] (x4)

A (hold for 4 bars)

[VERSE]
[A]There's dirt in every [F#m]corner
[Bm]There's a sofa in the [E]yard
[A]And everything is out of [F#m]order
[Bm]Life is unpre[E]dictable and [A]hard
[A]But there is peace out on the h[F#m]ighway
[Bm]In the soft hissing rush of the ma[E]chines
[A]Quietly gliding, [F#m]never quite colliding
Only [Bm]fractions of a [E]second in [A]between

[CHORUS]
[D]The perfect ticking of a [A]clockwork family
[D]Everything happens right on [A]time
[D]Perfect rhythm of a [A]life that can be
[E]Counted on to finally work out fine
[E]So much more reliably than [A]mine
