:music:
coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....

coin operated boy
all the other real ones that i destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll
never let him go and i'll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy......

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
i'm dying to lose it...
i want it
i want you
i want a coin operated boy.

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i cant imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why i want
a coin operated boy.

No idea, but wanted to give a :thumbsup: for The Dresden Dolls and say that Good Day is one of my favouritest songs.

It's about a toy that gives her joy.

Do you really need to ask what that could possibly be?

 

[JulesMaximus]

Great song. :thumbsup:

[Squisher]

After further review............dildo.

 

[sdifox]

fist time I have seen the lyrics and dildo comes to mind...

 

[vital]

Well looks like you pervs were wrong.

"What is the song ?coin-operated boy? about? Is it about a dildo? I have fifty bucks riding on this.?

It is not about a dildo. It is about lonliness.

It's about a robot boy who requires round pieces of metal to stay alive.
