[ti:Marionette]
[00:03.22] Marionette - Mott The Hoople
[00:10.14] No puppet no liar won't bend my lips to wire No
[00:19.37] Don't pressurize me so
[00:24.06] Don't gamble with my life or you won't live to do it twice
[00:32.79] Oh take some good advice from me
[00:36.17] And let the wires rock
[00:50.71] All dressed in black so nobody sees you
[00:54.14] Smile in the wings tell me I please you
[00:57.52] Call me a king and watch for the wordworm to choke me
[01:04.18] And you're like a giraffe the performance is poor
[01:07.68] Watch the audience laugh as my head hits the floor
[01:11.18] When I'm broken in half you still reach for the floor
[01:14.68] Stop
[01:16.12] I've had enough of this
[01:18.43] The pantomime's reversed
[01:21.35] I need you feed
[01:23.10] I greed you bleed
[01:27.89] I ain't one yet
[01:30.71] Well you'd better forget it
[01:34.20] I ain't one yet
[01:37.76] Go check your stocks and shares
[01:40.75] And when the coffin comes make sure there's room for two
[01:46.74] You lied I led
[01:48.42] I died You're dead
[01:52.71] I ain't one yet
[01:55.71] You'd better forget it
[01:59.26] I ain't one yet
[02:02.65] Go check your product
[02:12.87] A traitor deceiver a groovy disbeliever I thought
[02:21.74] A puppet was a thing cheap-taught No way
[02:27.05] Creator conceiver romantic love receiver caught
[02:33.43] Who are you"
[02:34.42] The nerve
[02:35.80] I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get
[02:39.17] Out ahhhhh
[03:06.99] Oh he wanna play chords to the chick on the street
[03:10.62] He wanna play words to a world that don't speak
[03:13.86] He wanna play people who play hide 'n' seek when they don't talk
[03:20.67] He wanna play a riff to the man with the wires
[03:23.96] He wanna play lead but his hand's getting tired
[03:27.65] He just wanna play but don't know how to say stop
[03:33.25] OK the show's been fun
[03:35.14] But my wood's begun to warp
[03:38.12] They won I'm done
[03:39.56] New one begun
[03:43.46] I did my best
[03:46.89] It just couldn't last
[03:50.37] Get me out of this mess
[03:54.18] It happened so fast
[03:57.37] Now I need a rest
[04:00.80] Where's my sanity gone Mother
[04:04.49] I did my best
[04:07.67] I'm just like all the others
[04:17.59] They gambled with my life
[04:21.20] And now I've lost my will to fight
[04:26.59] Oh God these wires are so tight
[04:30.69] I'm just a marionette
