Black Metallic Lyrics

Artist: Catherine Wheel
Album: Ferment

I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic

I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

It's the colour of your skin
It's the colour of your skin

Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic

It's a shame that such brilliant music isn't backed up by meaningful lyrics/verses that go with the chorus

It's a shame that Henry can't show us his genius by writing his own songs.

Right on maldita!!!! If lyrics is all you give a shit about than you don't no a god dam thing about music. So find something more your style!! My daughter likes hanna montana, maybe thats more your speed. Let me just give you a heads up for the next time you want to write another ignorant comment, just don't.

I agree with Real Rocker. Some people don't get the depth of lyrics. Just let them blather on and sound like the simpletons that they are. Some people know what lyrics mean and others don't. I mean how many people think "Every Breath You Take" is a romantic song? LOL

The song is about a car. A black, metallic car to be exact. Rob Dickinson (CW's singer) has even said as much in interviews.

The verses don't make a lot of sense if it's purely about a car. I think it's using a car as a metaphor on the surface but is about a woman who's beautiful on the surface but cold underneath. Being in love with a woman who is either not in love with you or is cold and closed off in some way. Just my opinion of course.
