♪♫Metal Postcard Lyrics♫♪

Reunion begins with a glass of mercury television flickers with 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
