Mind of a Toy Lyrics
My painted face is chipped and cracked
My mind seems to fade to fast
Clutching straws, sinking slow
Nothing last, nothing lasts
A puppet's motions controlled by a string
By a stranger I've never met
A nod of the head and a pull of a thread
I can't say no, can't say no
When a child throws out a toy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see me
When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl, hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy
I'm all dressed up and no where to go
On a music box that never stop
I'll dance for if you want me to
Move in time, move in time
A wooden head and a broken heart
Used, abused and torn apart
I gave you my best and you gave me the rest
It's time to die, time to die
When a child throws out a toy
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see me
When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl, hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy
My mind seems to fade to fast
Clutching straws, sinking slow
Nothing last, nothing lasts
By a stranger I've never met
A nod of the head and a pull of a thread
I can't say no, can't say no
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see me
When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl, hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy
On a music box that never stop
I'll dance for if you want me to
Move in time, move in time
Used, abused and torn apart
I gave you my best and you gave me the rest
It's time to die, time to die
When I was new you wanted me
Now I'm old you no longer see me
When a child throws out a toy
Spiteful girl, hateful boy
When a child throws out a toy
Self explanatory, Mind Of A Toy is a fantasy song about a discarded toy, no longer enjoyed by its child owner. I don't know which member of the band wrote the lyrics but I think they're pretty clever. I'd like to add that the Visage debut lp is to this day, one of the greatest synth-pop albums of all time.
That is all - 🙂
