Dedicated to John Heartfield
Reunion begins
with a glass of mercury
whilst television flickers
for (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 precious machinery";
Chorus
It's ruling our lives
there is no hope
thought I'd drop a line
the weather here is fine
