Young Marble Giants - The Man Amplifier lyrics

The man amplifier

Has everything but desire

Is a robot when he should

Never tiresever good

And we're singing

Parallel sympathy with you

Skin to metal overture

Take a walkhe's always near

Like a shadownever fear

While we're singing

Like a tower in the dark

He can leave you feeling stark

While his fingers fall away

Love is climbing in his heart

So we're singing

Take a towel to his brow

Soothe the features of the proud

Lubricate the inner man

Exercise him when you can

And be singing
