Charles - Skids

作曲：Stuart Adamson

Charles got a job in a factory

Drilling sheet metal from

six till three

Worked extra hours for a better wage

Got lost in his task quite needlessly

I noticed his brain was a plastic box

His work rate improved cause

he couldn't stop

He couldn't eat lunch

with those metal hands

His legs were supports for

new inner glands

Next when I saw him

his face was gone

A stainless steel spine

now instead of bone

His arms became grafted

onto the switch

Six months without food

made it quite a trip

His wife soon returned from

her open grief

She told his employer

she had kids to keep

They gave her the scrap

price of his machine

Last weekend Charles

became obsolete oh oh
