Metal Man

 

Written: 1983

Writers: David Jenneson, Alan Hovden

Status: Recorded but unpublished

Genre and Style: Heavy Metal

Comments: Dave: Metal Man was our attempt to write in a genre we had never before tackled. The result is a song which, unlike most heavy metal, actually has the manners to include good lyrics, a strong melody and a recognizable story line. It is almost like a crossover from heavy metal to commercial pop. It should have been marketed to heavy metal bands of the time but typically, we still lacked the connections to network the song. Today it still retains its potential for a heavy metal band to do well by it as the title cut for a CD.

 

I’m a metal man

You made me what I am

Left me with wounds that won’t heal

And turned my heart into steel

 

Now I’m a metal

I’m a metal

I’m a metal man

Made of metal

Look I’m a metal

I’m a metal man

I’m a metal

Are you metal?

I’m a metal man

I’m a metal

I’m made of metal

Look out for the metal man

 

Down on the street they say

Your memory’s been taken away

But if you hear a scream

It’s the cry of the metal machine

 

A metal heart never breaks

An iron never shakes

You made me what I am

I’m a metal man

Next time on the street

Don’t under my feet

Because I’ve got boots of steel

 

Now I’m a metal

I’m a metal

I’m a metal man

Made of metal

Look I’m a metal

I’m a metal man

I’m a metal

Are you metal?

I’m a metal man

I’m a metal

I’m made of metal

Look out for the metal man
