Song Review
Very cool tune today, coming from the Canadian folk/indie-rock artist Dan Mangan. Robots can be found on Mangan’s latest EP Roboteering, released in March of 2009; The EP contains songs from an upcoming full-length release titled Nice, Nice, Very Nice. The album will be a follow-up to Mangan’s Postcards and Daydreaming which was recorded in 2005, and then re-released to Canada and the US in 2007 with the help of the Vancouver-based indie label FUM. On a side-note, Mangan has toured with notable Canadian indie acts such as Elliot Brood, Patrick Watson, and Hey Rosetta!.
Oh I don’t know what you’ve been told
But I don’t get out much these days
Waking young and feeling old
The days are no longer my own,
To piss away the waking hours
But don’t, don’t don’t, don’t let them go
oh don’t, don’t don’t, don’t let them go to waste
The fire in my eye is fleeting now
Your robot heart is bleeding
Tried to be the Robot King
And settled for the robot boy
Ring the bells that still can ring
And sing your stupid head off
To the ones who are not listening
But don’t, don’t don’t, don’t let them go
Don’t don’t, don’t don’t, don’t let them go to waste
The fire in my eye is fleeting now
Your robot heart is bleeding out
And I spent half of my life
In the customer service line
Flaws in the design
A sign of the times
And that little voice
In the back of your mind
Just wants you to know
Just hopes that you know
Robots need love too
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by
