On That Note: Mr. Machinery Operator

The Greatful Dead

Truckin'


Dallas, got a soft machine
Houston, too close to New Orleans



Casey Jones

This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station
'Bout a quarter to nine

 
Deep Purple, A couple off the Machine Head album...

Space Truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah yeah yeah yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing



Highway Star

Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything

 
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years....

 
Don't come hangin' 'round my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say



but I do love the original...especially the intro...

Reactions: Cupped
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
Plays by intuition
The digit counters fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

 
Not sure if this one was already given, but what the hey...bears repeating.

Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

 
Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am
