Boilerplate Daniel Lyrics & Chords By The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing

My mate Nathaniel said Boilerplate Daniel
Was found in the foundry
Abandoned aged two
The workers, they raised him
Away from the bosses
They fed him on filings
And watched as he grew
My mate Nathaniel said Boilerplate Daniel
Was burnt in the foundry
Skin blistered and red
The workers, they saved him
But they were not medics
And so they repaired him
With metal instead
Chorus:
Boilerplate Dan
Boilerplate Dan
He's not a robot he's a man in a can
Boilerplate Dan
Boilerplate Dan
He's not a robot he's a man in a can
My mate Nathaniel said Boilerplate Daniel
Was mute and was deafened
By the foundry's roar
The worker's they tried
To keep him inside
But one day he was spied
Through an open door
Chorus:
Boilerplate Dan
Boilerplate Dan
He's not a robot he's a man in a can
Boilerplate Dan
Boilerplate Dan
He's not a robot he's a man in a can
My mate Nathaniel said the man who saw Daniel
Could not be sure
What he'd stumbled upon
But he had to possess
This wonder of science
This man shaped machine
This automaton
My mate Nathaniel said the man who stole Daniel
Led him down to low water
Where a barge could be found
But poor Daniel was heavy
The jetty collapsed
He fell in the mud
Then he sank
Then he drowned
