lyrics

i swear she's made of steel, there's rivets in her heel
there's circuits in her hair but still her face looks real
i'd be surprised if she's needed lies to make it 26
she's never been in love, she's been in storage but
time spent with sisters all straight-lined and waiting for the van full of arms to reach these parts and for dad to open doors. i met her first at school then later me the fool. i wasn't looking and brakes are a flimsy tool. i got a shock when i hit her back and her bike slid under wheels


i feel it like it's always been asleep and part of me


i ran and looked around there was a tiny crowd
gathered with open mouths looking at her on the ground it was a terrible fall and a spanners all i've got metal in the car. i ask if she can hear as stuff drips out her ear her eyes are flickering and then she pulls me near and says "help get me up i'll pay you enough to put me in the boot"
you're very heavy dear but still i'm willing dear
to pick you up from this and sit you in the rear
as long as there's road we'll stay afloat and keep the course straight-lined. because ashamed of tin i saved you once from them and now we're desert bound where i will i will stick you in a hole where i hope there's little scope for rivers to rust you
