"Image" (2000 Single)
1. Image
2. Machine
3. Fragment (Element remix)
4. Machine (VNV Nation remix)
1. Image
You act a pansy, pushover
Do live your fancy, go lower
Who is that, someone says your name
You seem chancy, moreover
The call is mine
I'm gonna get you up
I'm gonna get on top
The call is mine
On the skew, you're dancing all over
You are the anti-fashion statement
In a blue suit, and orange pullover
You look like my old dog Rover
I'm gonna get you up
I'm gonna get on top
The call is mine
2. Machine
Look up here
Look down there
I am the new man
I'm tangled in wires
Chipset adept
Memory load
Keep your vogue code that all have
Tomorrow's world we've all seen
Keep your modern ways
And keep your bugs
The Metal Man is here to stay
Talk talk
You say I only work, all night and day
Talk talk
Do say 'Use me, I'm cheap to rent'
Computerised
Voice synthesised
Call me the mech man
In a world of machines
What can I do but to serve
Store the data and calculate
Speak and spell and operate
Engineer the rail and motorway
Automaton of yesterday
Talk talk
You say I only work, all night and day
Talk talk
Do say 'Use me, I'm cheap to rent'
3. Fragment (Element remix)
Broken frames
Shattered glass
Like a monochrome film
The replaceable background
Flickers and dissolves
Out of control
There's no sense, it's all Volta, Amp?re and Ohm
Earth to Moon, it's the same as London-Rome
Out of focus, blurred image
As solid as a liquid monument
A second of life
The time-frame of '69
Technology, machinery, humanity
It's all the same
There's no sense, it's all Volta, Amp?re and Ohm
Earth to Moon, it's the same as London-Rome
Time and age, what's the difference
Based upon the same reference
Touch-and-go, who's to know the random order
Contorted, distorted it doesn't make any sense at all
A fragment, a segment - bits and pieces, bits and Hz
Angular, circular
It's all the same
There's no sense, it's all Volta, Amp?re and Ohm
Earth to Moon, it's the same as London-Rome
4. Machine (VNV Nation remix)
Look up here
Look down there
I am the new man
I'm tangled in wires
Chipset adept
Memory load
Keep your vogue code that all have
Tomorrow's world we've all seen
Keep your modern ways
And keep your bugs
The Metal Man is here to stay
Talk talk
You say I only work, all night and day
Talk talk
Do say 'Use me, I'm cheap to rent'
Computerised
Voice synthesised
Call me the mech man
In a world of machines
What can I do but to serve
Store the data and calculate
Speak and spell and operate
Engineer the rail and motorway
Automaton of yesterday
Talk talk
You say I only work, all night and day
Talk talk
Do say 'Use me, I'm cheap to rent'
