Ocean Colour Scene - Mechanical Wonder Lyrics

Laughing & crying & singing along on the first day of 2020. 💋💘💔

Big time!

Had this on my phone for so long due to its presence on their best of album but never listened to it cos I'd " never heard of it" .. what a fool I was, this is absolutely incredible! 😍

Wonderful music.

fun loving video - great song!

Honestly cant believe the views OCS have had compared to other like oasis, verve, radiohead. It is mental, of OCS are not the best then they are right up there with the rest. A real shame, think more should be done for them.

Where the fuck is Steve Cradock?

Tune, and still one of my top bands!

The mechanical wonder is
It's just a noise in my room
And I'm chasing the wonder and
It's just a hole in my tune

And the radio plays but it
But it don't sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is
What is all going wrong

And I walk down the road and I
I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my room

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I'll walk with you
Where the larks take flight

Oh machines make our lives today
And I like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is
Is just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me
But it don't sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is
How it's all going wrong

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I'll walk with you
Where the larks take flight

And we'll keep on through
It's where the road don't roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time

They're machines that I'm walking from
Though they play in the songs
And the dreams that you're holding on
Don't hold on for so long

So I'm hiding machines away
But I'll keep them for you
But the things that you wanna say
Is just a noise in my room

And I look at the picture now
And there's a weight on us all
But the mechanical wonder is
It's a cure one and all

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I'll walk with you
Where the larks take flight

And we'll keep on through
It's where the road don't roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time

Perfection right here. Mr Craddock I salute you

Absolutely love this song , Steve even say about this being his favourite ocs tune xxx

Great song by a criminally underrated band

Absolutely top tune. Reminds me of being 18 what nowt mattered except having a great time. “And the dreams that your holding on
Don't run for so long”

Ocs and this tune deserve more than 10 effing comments

Anthony Proctor top band mate 👍

OCS deserve more credit than they get

Goosebumps.words can’t describe how i really miss 90’s music and life.this is the real music not like garbage we have on 2017

Che'goon🎼🎼

A true masterpiece. I miss the 90s 😢

So do I but this was from 2001...

@Scott Paterson maybe just alluding to where the band ultimately hark from ken likes

pure class,can't get enough ❤❤

Songs of my childhood - still love all of them, what a band, what a time to grow up 90s vibes

oasis thought they were the Beatles but this band were far better with out trying

don't get me started all oasis did was glam what indie rock bands we're doing in the late 80s and early 90s the bands name "Oasis" is to Safe to be cool for a start they mainstreamed the fuk out of what had already been done by true artists .... But It would be Oasis who if they were from Bournemouth 😂

oasis were nothing like the Beatles, apart from a few songs-ish, its called been influenced, apart from the videos, especially don't look back in anger, which I think is more Lennon influenced than beatles-esq……..also they probably wanted to be more the new stone roses than the beatles…….but who knows, I drink far too much, don't listen to me

@Scott Simmons they ripped off the real people

@Iona Tweedie you probably have a good point of view or different opinion on this, but your reply just proves you to be a complete arsehole.. see what you could have did here? 🙈🙈

Oasis had some 90s anthems, fair play where its due. HOWEVER....... I agree the 90s were filled with great bands that I would agrue in my opinion that were better than Oasis.. OCS, Cast, Shed 7, the Charlatans to name just a few that spring to mind as I type. Even going back to the beatles, I prefer the Kinks. Its what you like in the end isnt it.

Their best song

YES. but only 90k views. i wonder

brilliant song and great video

I agree, Greg. Criminally underrated band

Always makes me smile
