Metal Postcard lyrics

Reunion begins
With a glass of mercury
Whilst television flickers
For another news bulletin
Flints light up the eyes
Of the seated family

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 precious machinery

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:

`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`
