Welcome, Machine Gun - Hubert Kah

Times have changed

my friend

but they’re still beautiful

Recall the place where I was born:

Childhoods

fields of green

it’s me the mad machine

I’ve come to play and run away.

When you wake up in the mornin'

wake up the melody

You can hear them call your name

your best friend is technology.

Round and round you’re never lazy

round you turn in lullabies

29 — you’re goin crazy — machine gun.

35 — he joined the Navy

good ole Navy’s harmony

Then he got a broken heart on 20th anniversary.

Send your love to operators

send your love into the rain

Every day your solitude may hurt you like a hurricane.

So welcome

oh welcome

machine gun

oh welcome!

Martha planned to make a movie

movie made in stereo.

Then she went to California winded up on radio.

Round about the Navy-ballroom

get the man in gabardine

Kiss him once and kiss them all and send me cards on Halloween.

So welcome

oh welcome

machine gun

so welcome

machine gun!

Voice of silence come

the world’s so wonderful

We cry

make love and the wind goes on.

Monday up to Saturday you kick your soul from 9 to 5

Sunday’s always wonderful

you wander on the TV line.

Love is not a silly notion

love is not a monorail

Love is like the way you love

a candle in the hurricane.

So welcome

oh welcome

machine gun

oh welcome

welcome

machine gun!

So welcome

oh welcome

machine gun

oh welcome

machine gun!
