Siouxie And The Banshees - Metal Postcard (Mittageisen) lyrics

rate me

Reunion begins

with a glass of mercury

Television flickers

with another news bulletin

Flints light up the eyes

of the seated family

Chorus:

Metal is tough,

metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough,

metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my masterscheme

With a clockwork jerk

pluck cogs from fob watches

For dinner on Friday

then recoiling say excuse me

Must go recycle

my precios machinery

Chorus:

Metal is tough,

metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough,

metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my masterscheme

It's ruling our lives,

there is no hope

Thought I'd drop a line

the weather here is fine

But day and night it blares

commanding through loudspeakers

Chorus:

Metal is tough,

metal will sheen

Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned

Metal is tough,

metal will sheen

Metal will rule in my masterscheme
