Looper - My Robot lyrics

I thought I'd teach my robot to write all of my songs I thought I'd teach my robot to write all my songs And I'd send him out into the morning to see what he could see - Just to roll around the city, and store it all up in his memory Then when he got back he could cut up the drum breaks Make the loops I thought I'd teach my robot to write all my songs And I sent off for the book that told me how to re-arrange its circuits I bought all the new bits it said I would need Then I opened my robot up And I got to work I thought I'd teach my robot to write all my songs And I spent days soldering - Till the whole house smelt like the Paris metro In summertime And I was driving on by the thought Of how I would have the time just to live When he made all the loops And when finally I was finished And I switched him back on Nothing happened He didn't work at all And now I've spent months on him Hours and hours every day And a lot of money too And he just lies in pieces in the corner of the room Totally useless
