The Clock-Tower Blues.
Written by Marty McFly
Performed by the Pinheads.
Verse I:
The clock was keeping perfect time,
A tower dangerous to climb,
When the rain came down,
A freak storm hit our town,
And the hands they stopped on a dime.
It was ticking so magnificently,
Proud for all the world to see,
When lightning struck,
The cogs all stuck,
And changed the course of history
Chorus I:
No it isn't fair to our poor clock there,
to be replaced by something new.
The clock you see is our history,
to fix it will never do.
No it isn't right and it puts me to fright,
to mess with its inner core,
For it was the end of our loyal friend,
When it failed at ten O'four.
Verse II:
On the twelfth, of November
Something that we remember
The thunder rolled,
As we've all been told,
And made it into an ember.
Chorus II:
No it isn't fair to our poor clock there,
to be made to run again.
A dance was held on that night, I'm telled,
it's a trip down memory lane.
(Instrumental with loud guitar that you fortunately cannot hear)
And it's such a shame to make any claim,
that the clock should again go,
For when I look it is like a book
telling us about long ago.
Author's notes: (not Marty's):
I didn't really ever think I'd write a songfic, but I needed a song for a fic, and I thought I'd like to put it up by itself. I've needed to write this for days, and I finally pushed myself into doing it yesterday. It only took twenty minutes. But I finished it at 12:15 am today, cos I started extremely late! Some time I'll have enough of the fic done to put up on my own site, and I'll mention it in my bio. So then you can find out why the Pinheads are playing this song and what everyone (Including Doc and Marty's family) thinks about it.
