Precious Metal

when i was a little boy

sat on my Daddy’s knee

he told me tales of joy

and peace and harmony

now i’m a full grown man

i’ve got a tale of woe

and all my dreams of love

have disappeared and gone

what you gonna do?

what you gonna do?

you got to get out and fast

you know we’re under attack

i let go of my life oh precious metal

a flash before my eyes oh precious metal

won’t you tell me what you’re gonna do baby?

oh precious metal

cos all i want to do is make love with you

and all the broken men

marching one by one

and they’re walking now with downcast eyes as the snow blocks out the sun

what you gonna do?

what you gonna do?

you got to get out and fast

you know we’re under attack

i let go of my life oh precious metal

a flash before my eyes oh precious metal

won’t you tell me what you’re gonna do baby?

oh precious metal

cos all i want to do is make love with you
