LYRICS

METAL BOY

Robot! Robot! I bought you from a bloke I bought you from a bloke He said you’d do the washing up well that’s a bloody joke The minute you got wet You bust your neural net It blew up half the house And I was really quite upset I ought to take you back I ought to take you back And ram you up his ass so hard He has a heart attack But every time I try I cannot find that guy Why did he sell you to me? Why? You look just like a kid You look just like a kid Except you’re made of metal And your head’s a dustbin lid You do not even work You rusty little jerk Come on and do the washing up You stupid metal berk You used to look so flash But you’re just a waste of cash That’s why I took your top off And I fill you with my trash I beat you every day I beat you every day I smack you with a hammer But you still won’t do it my way Work! Work! Come on, work now Work! Work! Or I’ll beat you up Work! Work! Come on, you lazy bugger Work! Work! Little metal boy I am the puppet master You are my slave I pull the strings and nothing happens They’re broken, you can’t dance I want to kill you Except you’re not alive I want to put a brain inside you So you can feel me hurting you I don’t feel bad about it You silly little punk You rotten heap of junk You metal monkey You smelly skunk I ought to throw you in a skip Or on a tip Smash you into teeny-weeny bits Or swap you for a bag of chips Work! Work! Come on, damn you Work! Work! Or I’ll kick your ass I remember when we used to Run around and play Hide and seek and table tennis in the garden Sometimes you would bleep And in response I would say bloop Then we’d feel a little daft And crack up laughing How I wish we could have stayed that way But something changed in you one day So now I beat you up My sleep is full of nightmares I don’t know why I dream that you and all your mates Are chasing me around my mansion I try to hide But no escaping Your special heat-seeking radar Finding me in every nook and cranny You metal fanny Leave me alone What have I ever done to you? Pick on somebody new You used to be so quiet Now you won’t shut up Always booping and ba-beeping Ba-da-beep-beep-ba-ba-bo It must have been the batteries Maybe I forgot to plug you in I feel a little foolish now But it’s much too late Now you won’t shut up I can’t sleep at night No, you won’t shut up I can’t sleep at night Shut up! I can’t hear myself think any more! Shut up, you stupid idiot! You’ll wake the neighbours! Shut your face!
