Kinks, The - Toymaker Lyrics






Now I will hammer, and then I will screw it
Then I would wind it, to see how it goes
We'll keep working, painting and binding
Right til the morning, til he starts to close

Toymaker, toymaker, how do you know
Where all the pieces in your jigsaw puzzle go?
Toymaker, toymaker, don't you work fast
Lighting up you candles till the night has gone past
Toymaker

Now I will hammer, and then I will screw it
Then I would wind it, to see how it goes
We'll keep working, painting and binding
Right til the morning, til he starts to close

Toymaker, toymaker, why do you sing?
Does it make you feel happy when you wind up the spring?
Toymaker, toymaker, don't fall asleep
The children are waking and are getting on their feet
Toymaker

Now I will hammer, and then I will screw it
Then I would wind it, to see how it goes
We'll keep working, painting and binding
Right til the morning, til he starts to close

Toymaker, toymaker, how do you know
Where all the pieces in your jigsaw puzzle go?
Toymaker, toymaker, don't you work fast
Lighting up you candles till the night has gone past
Toymaker

  1. D.... D....

    I’m shook. Wow. 100% my favorite of your tales. Keep them close to home and the words make themselves. Best to you Oxhorn.

  2. F.... 4....

    This video is so sad it made my eyes sweat

  3. A.... B....

    I am a 9 year old and it mayd me cry I gave the buter cup to Shan

  4. A.... G....

    Where Womans Cry: *Titanic*
    Where Men Cry:

  5. R.... S....

    Oxhorn's description of nepotism sounds like Trump. He was given a position he didnt earn and it's going to lead to the ruination of this country.

  6. J.... H....

    You know they could make Arlene the wasteland Santa claus. He lives by making toys for the kids in the wasteland.

  7. S.... F....

    11:54 .... HOLD UP

  8. W.... T....

    Beautifully done as always. We were curious about the Toy-maker and the first person that came to mind was you. We knew you would bring us into his world and we thank you. We Bow.

  9. D.... W....

    This is the REAL saddest story from fallout 4. This crushed my heart beyond anything. I nearly cry every time I hear him play the holotape. It’s crushing

  10. a.... c....

    What happenes if you talk to him at the crater I want to know I'm ready sad from his story and I don't want to be angry for not knowing the answer to what he says

  11. J.... G....

    Haha. Of course a Glass has the genes to be a ghoul. We are too stubborn. Also love that he is a jack of all trades. Like my grandfather. Being a college student I miss my parents. I know my dad doesn't work right now. but he does a lot for my mother and I. He wants to start playing Fallout 4 because I played it during Christmas Break. This does make me miss my father.

  12. B.... ....

    Finally watched this in 2020 😭😭😭 you have incredible talent with your story telling and lore vids. I watched a lot of your videos and this one and a few others made me cry like a little baby

  13. G.... O....

    You bastard. Call off your onion chopping ninjas!

  14. G.... ....

    Why are people here such pathetic little pussies?

  15. L.... L....

    I accidently killed Arland while trying to talk to him and I had no good saves before it so ,I killed everyone there

  16. f.... a....

    00:38 that's what she said

  17. P.... M....

    I had no idea Arlen had such an amazing and truly hearbreaking story...in my plathrough i just wrote him off as a crazy ghoul. I need to go back and give him peace

  18. b.... b....

    This poor man has a heart that has broke

  19. T.... B....

    I’m not crying you’re crying..

  20. H.... 5....

    This was one of my favorite stories in Fallout 4

  21. f.... t....

    What gun mod did you use?

  22. C.... L....

    One of the best parts is how he continues playing the tape over and over again after you leave. Such a beautiful and heartbreaking touch!

  23. T.... ....

    The part where he said after he was done with that he went and hugged his little girl and little boy I almost teared up I may not be a dad but I have a beautiful niece and a handsome young nephew that I love dearly

  24. m.... h....

    I was fine until the holotape from the daughter and you can hear the emotion in oxhorns voice. Keep up with the amazing content oxhorn

  25. S.... 2....

    I'm not a parent but this story still hits me hard when I found it. Its why I love exploring the Fallout games, I love finding these things and piecing thing together. The world's filled with so much suffering and sadness its one of the reasons I have trouble playing evil characters in these games where other games I have no trouble. There is so much darkness I can't bring myself to add more to it.

  26. S.... ....

    Happy new year Oxhorn! A great storyteller you Are! Thanks.

  27. L.... K....

    I'm not crying over a made up story in a video game, you're crying over a made up story in a video game!!

    I know I'm late to the party, only recently discovered your channel, like a week or so ago, but I've been binge watching them all when I have time, marvelous, I love reading to others, so to hear someone else who can put feeling in their voice, and generate flowing nomenclature over what they see, it's pretty amazing.

  28. R.... N....

    Lmao I think i used the toy for upgrading my guns.

  29. M.... D....

    Fuck. You made me cry

  30. a.... ....

    Man Ox’a tone of voice and seriousness of this story really hit home....wow he is an amazing story teller and really brings a fake game story really come to life and brings its point home....

  31. I.... N....

    The amount of emotion your share with these stories, I thought I was the only one who payed attention to the people behind everything. You made me tear up on this one.... love your videos.

  32. X.... A....

    I feel a lot pain here when you finished the dialogue and he began giving rewards and saying thank you, he will play the tape again...

  33. D.... ....

    This story made me cry when I played the game for the first time and got to that quest... I almost forgot it... But you remembered me and now I'm crying again. I have no childs. But I can totally imagine the pain of Alan...

  34. a.... f....

    This is the saddest story in Fallout 4

    a.... f....

    This story is honestly better than the main story of the game

  35. d.... h....

    make me miss my son

  36. A.... K....

    This legit made me to tears

  37. J.... C....

    god... that Fallout music in the background of the holotape is too depressing

  38. T.... C....

    How come they don't have airpods and I phones and MacBook.

  39. C.... P....

    Big feels. I'm a dad who spends his weekends working, on top of my regular work days. I had this playing in the background.

    Working crazy OT to provide for baby and wife.

  40. a.... w....

    Oxhorn this is why I love your lore videos you give a soul to your videos that few youtubers match

  41. T.... T....

    this literally made me cry , damnit oxhorn , lol . your voice is so soothing and comforting and full of emotion , its hard not to feel empathy for this character , going through my own child loss , I really can connect with this story, my child isn't dead but has eliminated me from her and my grandsons life for some of the same reasons in this story . good job oxhorn love ya man . been following ya from WoW and ill never stop watching you .

  42. C.... E....

    Do you have to have the DLC to get this? I can't find those offices and terminals when I pick up the toy parts.

  43. t.... ....

    its pronounced sythe not skythe

  44. B.... S....

    This was the first Oxhorn lore video I watched back in 2016.

  45. J.... C....

    My kids are gone they passed in a car accident with there mother... It's hard to say goodbye

  46. D.... M....

    This story is actually heartbreaking 😢oxhorn love the way you tell these stories 🙏🏻big respect for you work

  47. P.... P....

    I cried so much
    Yknow i wish raul tejada could meet the toy maker i think they would make great friends considering they are both pre war ghouls and they lost so much in the past
    But tbh i just want to see raul again he is such a well written character plus he is voiced by danny trejo not many fallout characters get such amazing actor
    I think in maybe a new dlc or a future fallout game we should see a new town of ghouls with all our favorites there
    Like hancock, raul, and maybe charon idk he doesent have much of a backstory but maybe if he reappears he could have more fleshed out dialogue.

  48. T.... F....

    I'm not a parent and I'm not sure I even want to be. However, this story hit hard for me. I always try to do Arlen's quest and get his holotape back to him. This is Fallout at its best; good writing and characters you can actually empathize with even though you lead different kinds of lives or are a different kind of person. It's good art.

  49. r.... d....

    You can hear ox start to choke up a lot in this video this Is what I love about the oxhorn channel he doesn't do anything flashy he gives a heart felt opinion and he makes us all really care and have sympathy for these characters that are in a fictional world but he makes there story's feel so real keep up the good work ox you are hands down one of my favorite YouTubers

  50. n.... b....

    OW my feels hurt😖😭

  51. C.... ....

    I started sobbing during this quest. Like legit. My dad is one of the most important people in my life... this quest hurts so much... it’s so damn crazy how video games really can hit hard.

  52. A.... F....

    I'd say I could be considered a borderline sociopath, I dont really feel much in terms of human events and emotions, and I'm ok with that. Because every now and then something will make me think enough to feel the humanity that most people wear on their sleeves, so whenever it happens, it's all the more special. Even when it's not the best of feelings it's still a good experience because my brain doesnt normally take the emotional route. And if the fallout series has taught me anything- it's that theres always fun to be had and things to be learned when taking a road less traveled.

  53. A.... P....

    Arlen Glass deserves all the hugs.

  54. f.... a....

    Are you ACTUALLY a father

  55. W.... K....

    I am lost for words Oxhorn this was amazing

    I don’t now what else to say I’m lost for words

    Love your videos and your channel
    💛💛💚💚💙💙❤️❤️💜💜

  56. A.... H....

    I like to think that, in spite of the bare bones structure of the main plot of Fallout 4, that these little side stores like Arlen's make up for it by giving us glimpses of life outside of big factions vying for control of the wasteland

  57. 4.... R....

    Yah.... Oh my goodness, you are awesome man. This video really good

  58. T.... ....

    I'm not easily touched, but this... This broke me. As a person who had recently lost someone... I felt this...

    God bless Arlen Glass, God bless.

  59. A.... T....

    You have to be a monster to murder this poor guy

  60. D.... ....

    Wow, came to this video after watching a random encounters video and was not expecting this. Enjoyed the story, cried a bit, would watch again

  61. N.... ....

    Not sure if you forgot to mention this or if it didn't happen to you, but after I given him the holotape Arlen give me a small toy version of the Giddy buttercup. I think it should have been mentioned here.

  62. J.... A....

    I sometimes forget that my favourite youtubers have families too. I didn't know that you had children, Ox, but oh boy, they sure as hell have a great father.

  63. M.... N....

    I have been watching u for along time and I think that was the most open I have seen you about you home life

  64. C.... V....

    This video made me cry he... Believed that toys give kids hope and dreams is just... I love this video so much... But now... Now his daughter is dead... 😭😭😭😭😭😭

  65. M.... ....

    one of my favourite oxhorn videos and fallout side stories. really poignant and well told. my only criticism of the making of this gem in the game is that the voice of the daughter takes me out of it a bit- she sounds 40 lol.

  66. T.... o....

    Iam a kid and play this game it the end tears just tears whhhhhhhhhhy

  67. B.... M....

    Loved the story and the way you told it thank you. As a father this hi t hard as well.

  68. E.... ....

    I'm sobbing
    His story is one of the saddest, in my opinion. All he wanted was to make kids around the world happy. Unfortunately that conflicted with his home life even when he tried to make both work. He lived centuries regretting it. He loved making kids happy, and he loved his daughter the most. But it was too late. This is legitimately heartbreaking.

  69. S.... S....

    Dude Arlen is such a wholesome ghoul I wanna help him give all the giddy up buttercup to the kids who most deserve it most 😭

  70. J.... D....

    This....this is the saddest FO moment for me. Nothing else in any chapter of the franchise comes close, not the skeletons, the deserted schools, the holotapes of lost families....because this has a human face. This has the extra depth of seeing the devestation, worst than any bomb.

  71. D.... ....

    I love your videos Ox... but... SCYTHE isn't pronounced with a hard c. XD

  72. D.... S....

    So I went through the place where you find the ID card before finding the slog but in my game it glitched and he listens to the holotape and resets but now I don't have the holotape and I can't give it to him

  73. C.... D....

    I’m not crying I just have a little radiation in my eyes 😢

  74. S.... C....

    This man lost everything... He just wanted to make children happy... I was going to write him off as a moronic hippie for his views... But his goal is making the next generation is happy as they can be through his work... This is a man who knows that war is an inevitability, but he only wants to make young ones smile... this is why I want to shoot every communist in Fallout 4. They caused this man so much heartbreak... Its time to die commie scum!!



    I'd kill a lot of people in the wastelands, but a man like that... Thats something you never ever lay a finger on...

  75. S.... t....

    8:23 He sounds about ready to cry at some point...

  76. T.... V....

    I’m generally not an emotional person, but this made me sad man. I know it’s only a video game, but if that actually happens in real life, witnessing your wife and child getting turned into nothing but a crater, that will break a man.

  77. S.... D....

    Excuse me, I have something in my eye.

  78. Z.... A....

    1:29 HOLD UP wrong game pal Skaggs belong in this realm but they don’t exist in this realm

  79. d.... b....

    Scythe is not pronounced with the hard c. It’s a long I sound.

  80. S.... ....

    I thought this was an scp

  81. I.... M....

    This was so emotional for me and it is so sad 😢😭💔

  82. R.... F....

    10:45 the son Shaun aka Father

  83. D.... N....

    Stories like this are why Fallout will always have a special place in my heart.

  84. C.... ....

    but wasn’t cambridge crater from the institute’s explosion?

  85. G.... ....

    Now I feel bad for wiping out the slog😭😭

  86. I.... G....

    I'm glad we got to see Arlen Glass one last time.

  87. B.... M....

    i think this is my favorite video of yours so far, and im kinda binging on them now, its got me back playing fallout 4. great jog Ox

  88. R.... H....

    2019 and still sad AF 😭

  89. S.... O....

    This is one of the few videos that... made me cry. I am not a parebt, but I have three younger siblings that look up to me. The only one who noticed I'm crying is my only sister. I wish I could tell them, I'm a sensitive guy, heck the first time I cried at a farther age is when I watched Doctor who season 13 I think, episode 1. I broke down in tears. This... is just upsetting.

  90. P.... O....

    female ghouls be like
    "HOMIEEEEEEEEEEEE"

  91. x.... ....

    Pronounced scythe wrong...

  92. D.... H....

    Damn dude, this one hit hard.. great job

  93. N.... D....

    Fallout really does cover everything...

  94. S.... O....

    *Clicks to learn more about Fallout 4*
    "Oh wow, another Ox vid! Time to learn some lore and a way to complete the quest with most benefits and rewards. "

    *Halfway through, dosent care about the mission anymore.*
    "My heart... but I'm not crying!"

    *End of Video*
    "God Darn those Irradiated Onions!"

  95. E.... ....

    I just barely held myself together when the story hit me, I admire when a story does that. Over the years I’ve grown and some stories become lost on me as to their intended effect. Yet this could only become more relevant and hit closer to home the older I become.

  96. B.... K....

    These invisible ninjas better stop cutting onions in my room

  97. G.... P....

    Aight I am now building my Slog as a Toy shop

  98. A.... ....

    I,am just an uncle but i feel you i got the shivers & shackes when i first got to this part in the game .
