Just stopped by to say
hello.
You remembered me.
Always.
Long night last night.
Late night … tired.
I shouldn’t complain,
instead I should
celebrate each day.
Have a tune for you
today,
it is a request …
You'll know who ... enjoy
Welcome my son,
welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know
where you've been.
You've been in the
pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys
and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish
your ma,
And you didn't like
school,
and you know you're
nobody's fool,
So welcome to the
machine.
Welcome my son,
welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you
what to dream.
You dreamed of a big
star,
he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the
Steak Bar.
He loved to drive in his
Jaguar.
So welcome to the
machine.
