Lewie - The Inventor lyrics
rate meSo imagine you were back<br />
To 4000bc<br />
It's another night in Iraq<br />
As the sun melts into the sea<br />
<br />
And the local village<br />
They dance and drink, <br />
But for one exception<br />
His name was Simon I think<br />
<br />
Now Simon was odd, <br />
Crazy a little clever<br />
He's been making inventions<br />
Since forever<br />
<br />
He's the local hermit<br />
And the local inventor<br />
But the village just laugh<br />
At EVERY SINGLE venture<br />
<br />
Cause everything he's makes<br />
Is big and perplexing<br />
When things should be simple<br />
He's always complexing<br />
<br />
But he's got something new<br />
A trick up he sleeve<br />
He says the greatest invention<br />
Man has ever conceived<br />
<br />
The inventor<br />
He should know there's nothing more perfect<br />
<br />
It's the biggest thing<br />
That he has ever made<br />
And his humble she'd is no place<br />
For greatness to be displayed<br />
<br />
So he sets up an exhibition<br />
At the local town hall<br />
And invites every villager<br />
3000 in all<br />
<br />
But he has one problem<br />
He has to solve now<br />
How will he move his big invention<br />
To the hall in the town<br />
<br />
So he puts his invention<br />
On a flat piece of wood<br />
Attached to 4 round things<br />
Also made of wood<br />
<br />
So you see, <br />
<br />
He's quite smart old Simon<br />
Not always off his trolley<br />
Cause now he can push his invention<br />
On what looks like a trolley! <br />
<br />
The inventor<br />
He should know there's nothing more perfect<br />
<br />
So one hundred inventors<br />
Come from all around<br />
To exhibit there work<br />
At the hall in the town<br />
<br />
The rich inventors horses<br />
Drag in huge inventions<br />
Will nervous Simon for fill<br />
His life long intention<br />
<br />
So he pushes his work<br />
Into the hall<br />
Using the trolley he made<br />
With steering and all<br />
<br />
And the sound of the crowd<br />
Suddenly stops<br />
All eyes are on Simon<br />
And his props<br />
<br />
But no one was laughing<br />
Cause they were amazed<br />
By the genius in Simon<br />
And what he had made<br />
<br />
But Simon was confused<br />
By the crowds reaction<br />
Cause he had not even, pulled the curtain<br />
To reveal his contraption<br />
<br />
Cause in 4000bc a new word was opened, that shaped us down to this very day<br />
And Simons... <br />
<br />
Invention was the key<br />
To open the lock<br />
It was the wheel on Simons trolley<br />
That stood the whole room in shock<br />
<br />
Cause never had such things<br />
Been seen before<br />
Now Simons wheel would change<br />
The world forevermore<br />
<br />
The inventor<br />
He should know there's nothing more perfect than simplicity
