Gramophone Grime

Intro

Oh-oh

Yeah

Check it

Bop-shoo-be-doo

Verse 1

Silver horns screaming out a sharp salute

Broken rhythm buried underneath a combat boot

Smoke clouds curling in a thick black velvet haze

Old gramophone spinning through the static phase

Pre-Chorus

Metal grinding on the velvet vine

Mixing whiskey with a heavy brine

Electric fever in a wooden shell

Breaking open like a wedding bell

Chorus

Swing it til the floorboards break and bend

Keep it kicking til the very end

The bass is heavy and the brass is cold

Steel piano playing something old

Swing it

Swing it loud

Loose inside the metal crowd

Drop

Jump

B-b-b-burn it down

Verse 2

Rattle cages with a copper string

Dirty sirens making every hollow corner ring

Gears turning while the drummer finds a faster heat

Oil dripping on a cold and jagged street

Pre-Chorus

Watch the pistons hit the golden sky

Let the rhythm look you in the eye

Binary heart inside a hollow chest

Take the rhythm and forget the rest

Chorus

Swing it til the floorboards break and bend

Keep it kicking til the very end

The bass is heavy and the brass is cold

Steel piano playing something old

Swing it

Swing it loud

Loose inside the metal crowd

Drop

Jump

H-h-h-hit the floor

Bridge

Brass and iron

Steel and wire

Throw the circuit in the fire

Light it up

Let it rip

Tighter on the metal grip

Chorus

Swing it til the floorboards break and bend

Keep it kicking til the very end

The bass is heavy and the brass is cold

Steel piano playing something old

Swing it

Swing it loud

Loose inside the metal crowd

Drop

B-b-b-break it

Finish it now
