..tone Spectrum, Pacman, Commodore

ZX-81, donkey kong, fucking high score

Push it to the limit, couldn't push it any more

Wanna be a fucking robot after smoking loads of draw

Bought a speak and spell, stuck it to my chest

And wraps a fucking ? onto my head and to my vest

Walking down the stret, my next door neighbours not impressed

I'm a robot and buying ten fags is my quest

Eggsie's gone too far, he thinks he's robocop

He's covered in tinfoil and he's got matching metal socks

We tried to sedate him but he fucking escaped

The man robot myth starts to escalate

He tries to sell himself standing in curries

But if the police turn up, he runs in a fucking hurry

He tries to plug himself in the mains with his nob

And when he's fully recharged he goes out on the rob

Half man, half machine

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

Half man, half machine

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

Being a robot in my digital domain

Enter my world, feel my pain

I'm not like other people you might see or you might know

I made love to a BBC micro

Touching on the disk drive, the monitor got hot

I knew from then, I was a motherfucking robot

Bill Gates from Microsoft, Stephen Hawking's voice

And fucking Lara Croft

I built a lab, secret in my loft

And built a special costume that would help me to jack off

I sat there in front of the screen

For many years, this had been my wet dream

Now I've reched it, I'm finally there

Like terminator being filmed in Aberdare

So alone, when people stop and stare

Like C3PO but with pubes and hair

Robot Love

Robot

Robotic Breakdancing

Robot

The doctors found a nut

They said he was an headcase

'cos he sticks silver and cans on his face

Sucking off antennas and trying to fuck the fridge

And burnt his pubic wig, with the high voltage

I am a robot

My prime directive is to's go to's the shops

And buy's ten fags

Do's you's compute?

He wants to buy ten fags, his destination is the shops

A tinfoil suit and a hat like Robocop

If your ask him then he'll do a bodypop

Like terminator, yeah he just won't stop

Put electical cable down through the eye of his cock

Plugged it in the wall and gave himself a big shock

The reason that he did it wasn't to give himself pain

Watching Terminator over again and again

Fuck man, get him, fucking restrain him man

get him fucking, fucking get him down man

inject him man, get him down

He's fucking nuts spa and he's losing it

Help me man, just get him fucking....

Half man, half machine

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

Half man, half machine

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

Half man, half machine

What does it mean?

What does it mean?
