Lyrics

Oiled

The mechanics of love

Dream up a war

And we must fight

To the sweet end

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning)

Like an industry

Falling to its knees

I would fall to mine

And my love ran dry

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning round

The mechanics of love impose this war

Which we will fight til the sweet end

Now we have oiled our piston legs (?)

As the final phase of the schemе begins

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep thе wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning)

Like an industry (like an industry)

(Falling to its knees)

Falling to its knees

(I would fall to mine) I would fall to mine

(And my)

And my love ran dry

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep your wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep your wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep your wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning round

(Keep the wheels turning)

Keep the wheels turning (keep the wheels turning) (keep the wheels turning)

Keep your wheels turning round

Keep the wheels turning

Keep the wheels turning

Keep the wheels turning
