Story behind the song
It's a comfort to many to think of ourselves as only tiny cogs in some Great Machine...but then again, why stop there?
Lyrics
GREAT MACHINES - by Jim Costello Feels like I've been away so long We're here together but something's wrong. Familiar hurts and withered dreams Return to haunt me, so it seems. It's a comfort to fool yourself We're only tiny cogs in a great machine But some would say despite what's taught We're all great machines if a few cogs short Friendship invites us feel at home, But when the chips are down, you're on your own. Give or take that helping hand But life's so lonely when it's over. It sounds absurd I don't know What it is you want from me After what you and I've been through Enough to love and hate one another. You loved me once, I loved you then But we'd be pushed to say just when. Resurrect it - we must be mad Christ, we'll end up talking 'bout the weather It's a comfort to fool yourself We're only tiny cogs in a great machine But some would say despite what's taught We're all great machines if a few cogs short
