Nine to five or ten to six
Up to the city and back to the sticks
You've got to unwind your mind
You've got to unwind your mindSit back, switch on
Your face has got a twitch on
Your fuses are blown out in a double bind
Air-conditioned, psycho-analysed
You're very nearly human
You're so well disguised
Robot, Robot, you're a Robot, Robot
You're warm when it's cold
You're cool when it's hot
Your life is recorded on a micro-dot
Robot, Robot
You'd hold the whole world in your metal claws
If it wasn't for the three laws of robotics

Automated homunculus
You queue for the paper
You queue for the bus
You're a "good morning" machine
You're a "how are you?" device
Sit back, light up, never put a fight up
Sit there fuming until your face goes green
Air conditioned, and desensitised,
You're very nearly human
You're so well disguised

Robot, Robot
I am a robot
I am your slave
I can not harm you
I can only obey
The Three Laws

 

Not the mention the start of a lifetimes work, and a complete series of
linked stories.

I have a complete set of Foundation books here too.

 

Very true. I really should get round to re-reading them in some sort
of correct order.

Must order them as well.

 

Yes, I have a few holes in the collection, but I find Asimov to write
stories you can really get into.

You know there are 6 books in the series now don't you?

Strangely enough the first book of the series being the last book he
ever wrote before he died.

 

So whats left of the original? Seems to me there's only the title and
the three laws of robotics that Asimov came up with - oh and the
multinational company is called US Robotics as well.

 

Really? In which one of the stories in the collection did you read of the
detective?

It's all a bit of a hays

 

Thst has reminded me of yet another thing (or set of things) that have parted
company with me over the years so far:

One whole usable electric guitar, several decent shirts, some computers, a
micromter, albums ( does anyone have my copy of JJ Cales "5" ? ca I have it back
please ?) two pairs of shoes, 2 brass goblets, a limited edition
Zippo(tm)lighter, an electric blanket, a wind up robot that made sparks,
a scithe, a one ton engine hoist, etc etc
