I wish I had a metal heart\nI could cross the line
\nI wish that I was half as good
\nAs you think I am<\/p>\n
I wish I had a metal heart
\nI could cross the line
\nI wish that I was half as good
\nAs you think I am<\/p>\n
But now that we know for sure they’re telling lies when they say
\nNo one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
\nYou know it’s hard to believe anything that you hear
\nThey say the world is round<\/p>\n
Wish I was as big as you
\nYou’d have to tell the truth
\nI’d be nothing you could hurt
\nNothing you could use<\/p>\n
Lyrics “Metal Heart”, from the album “Bleed Like Me”, Garbage, 2005<\/em><\/p>\n This is an album track that I’ve vaguely liked for a while, musically. But I was listening to it today and it seemed to describe my world view at the moment. Current events in the news, politically and environmentally are preying on my mind as you know so that’s probably why.<\/p>\n Anyway that aside, whether this was meant as one of the awesome Garbage<\/a>‘s bitter-sweet songs about love, loss and betrayal or about something else it’s worth a listen, as is the whole album.<\/p>\n The image was a serendipitous find. I typed “Metal Heart” and found it on Google Image Search. It’s from a charity auction held last year by the charity WAYS<\/a> in Sydney Australia. It was donated by Carol Murphy. The charity supports “Young people and families in \u2026 Sydney”.<\/p>\n And please keep your suggestions coming for the podcast by commenting on the post below. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
