lyrics
The Waxwork Downs
Distorted faces, eyes of scorn
Stooped, bent double in ancient form
Now tempered by the toiling of our lives
A bygone gaze, a lifeless smile,
Neglected shrines now liquefied
A chronicle we wished that we could hide
In the ground
Find a vision of our past in the Waxwork Downs
Vapour lingers, clay blood boils
Mannequin figures work and toil
A museum of a time we’ll never know
Outstretched fingers, melting, spoiled
Flesh hues tarnish rust and soil
Slowly fading from a world they destroyed
Yet we found
Share a vision of our past in the waxwork downs
Daren’t stray too far
Something here unknown
Nested where diseased amusements grow
The house of the Clokkemaker!
Her nocturnal eyes, keen and trained
Her spyglass devices roam
Just how far can she see?
Just how much does she know?
Share a vision of your past, past, past
In the Waxwork Downs
Will the lamps burn bright tonight?
Distorted faces, eyes of scorn
Stooped, bent double in ancient form
Now tempered by the toiling of our lives
A bygone gaze, a lifeless smile,
Neglected shrines now liquefied
A chronicle we wished that we could hide
In the ground
Find a vision of our past in the Waxwork Downs
Vapour lingers, clay blood boils
Mannequin figures work and toil
A museum of a time we’ll never know
Outstretched fingers, melting, spoiled
Flesh hues tarnish rust and soil
Slowly fading from a world they destroyed
Yet we found
Share a vision of our past in the waxwork downs
Daren’t stray too far
Something here unknown
Nested where diseased amusements grow
The house of the Clokkemaker!
Her nocturnal eyes, keen and trained
Her spyglass devices roam
Just how far can she see?
Just how much does she know?
Share a vision of your past, past, past
In the Waxwork Downs
Will the lamps burn bright tonight?

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential.
