Lyrics

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Dey-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Hey, Clockface Keep your fingers on the dial You stole those precious moments And the kisses from her smile And now I'm living in these hours Away we will while I'm not wasting any more time Hey, Clockface I really wanna know Why is it when we're apart You always take it slow? And when she's here You always say "It's almost time to go" You said you'd be a friend to me But time is just my enemy And it is hurting me so The moon comes through the window shining crescently and bright The sun rolls round again If I could turn your face back Before all of this started Forty minutes past four when in secret she parted Forty minutes past four in the faithless A.M She wound up in his arms and not the man that I am A spring that is sprung A cuckoo-bird that sung Now there's a nail in a bare wall Where your face once hung Hey, Clockface Now I don't feel a thing You stole away the heart in me And then removed my spring The winding mechanisms shot The movement is unwound Don't tick or tock or dare to make a sound Hey Clockface Well, don't you ever dare Count me down to zero hour And keep me waiting here A minute from departure I will twist your key and have her come back to me Have her come back to me How can you face me? After what I've been through? After you broke that vow How can you face me now? How can you face me now? How can you face me now?
