I never went to the Lockup
Until I chanced upon a little tommyknocker
He gave me some string and told me go pull on the thing

So I pulled on the string
and here's the most curious thing
It opened a time door and I went travelling

Unravelled in a TV Studio
Can playing students in a row
Vaguely punk maybe funk watch Jaki go

Irmins chops pulled the string asunder
Back of Dad's car a Hillman Hunter
Disco beats, sticky seats, heading south in the sun

I never
I never
I never

Lightning  cracks and  I scream out loud
Just past the sign for Stroud
it singed the wing and disabled the string


So I never got back
I live in a 70's council flat
Don't think of the string used it to repair the wing

The String and the Wing
The String and the Wing
The String and the Wing
The String and the Wing
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing 
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing (I never)
The String and the Wing

I never

The String and the Wing
