An ode to steampunk

Which has been sat in my head since a conversation with [livejournal.com profile] razornet last weekend.

To the tune of "Golden Brown", by The Stranglers.

Cogs and Brown, steam-powered airships
Monocle and ray guns to equip
Moustache and watch parts
Where do I start?
Let's go to town on cogs and brown

Every one just like the last
A romantic view of the past
Goggles on hat
Archaisms down pat
Clockwork ballgown, with cogs and brown

Cogs and Brown, wannabe temptress
Low cut corset shows off her breasts
Gets it all wrong
Stays far too long
Clockwork ballgown, with cogs and brown
