Metal Postcard (Mittageisen) Siouxsie and the Banshees

[Dedicated to John Heartfield]

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
With a clockwork jerk
Pluck cogs from fob watches
For dinner on Friday
Then recoiling say excuse me
"Must go recycle
My precious 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
