}} '''"Metal"''' is the eighth track on ''[[Things Falling Apart]],'' a cover of [[Gary Numan]] from his 1979 album ''The Pleasure Principle''.
The end of the song features a drawn-out instrumental referencing several other Numan songs: the higher-pitched synth line is taken from "M.E." (also from ''The Pleasure Principle''), while the piano line references "Remember I Was Vapour" (from 1980's ''Telekon'').
==Lyrics==
We're in the building where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineersengineer
Like you
The sound of metal I want to be you
I could should learn to be a man
Like you
Do you?
Picture this if they could I should make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you and how can I try?
Here inside I like the metal On Don't you?
All I know is no one dies
I'm still confusing love with need
