My Perfect Robot Friend
Robyn Mackenzie
Electronic, embryonic, that is my creation
Supersonic, so harmonic, my reanimation
You stole my breath, you stole my heart, so I thought that I'd make another
Indestructible, invincible, that's my design now
Scientific, so idyllic, ready for the showdown
You left me here with all my tears, I had to find a better lover
So I, oh I
I'm gonna show you you were never meant to be the one
'Cause I can't rely on anyone who's made of flesh and blood
I know what it looks like but I swear I'm not playing pretend
Forget you, now it's me and my perfect robot friend
Give me electricity and some imagination
Circuit boards and thunderstorms give life to what I'm cravin'
And I don't care if you think that my work is an abomination
'Cause I, oh I
I'm gonna show you you were never meant to be the one
'Cause I can't rely on anyone who's made of flesh and blood
I know what it looks like but I swear I'm not playing pretend
Forget you, now it's me and my perfect robot friend
I'm kissing you goodbye
And looking up to the sky
Can't wait to come alive
Come alive
I'm gonna show you you were never meant to be the one
'Cause I can't rely on anyone who's made of flesh and blood
I know what it looks like but I swear I'm not playing pretend
Forget you, now it's me and my perfect robot friend

My Perfect Robot Friend
by The Idiot Kings
You have given me
Everything I need
To succeed
Asked nothing in exchange
Though I could not repay
The way that I’ve been saved
My perfect robot friend
Has eyes on the back of his head
Or maybe it’s the front
It’s hard to tell when they’re not functional
He warns of hazards near
(Warns of hazards near)
He finds the lost to be returned home
He lets us know when the cupboard is bare
And he’s just circuits and ohms instead of bones
Marty, oh my perfect robot friend
(My perfect robot friend)
You’ve made grocery shopping fun again
Made it fun again

My Perfect Robot Friend by The Magnetic Letters
When I was just a little boy
Sat on the dirt beneath a tree
I looked down at my arms and thought
If I cut them what would I see?
Would it just be flesh and bone?
That was a possibility
What if it turned out all along inside
I was really some kind of machine?
Then the siren rang and I had to go back to class
My perfect robot friend
Re-runs of Astro Boy
My perfect robot friend
It's the T.V. show that I most enjoy
My perfect robot friend
Could I be a robot?
My perfect robot friend
That would explain a lot
Son I know at the moment
You identify as a scary monster
I'll always love you ‘cause I know
The apple don't fall far from the tree
If the people call you eccentric know
There are many worse things that you could be called
And the world would be a boring place
Without robots and monsters
