An electric heater
The elements were made of wire and clay
She reached out to touch and she heard a voice say
And she heard it say
"Come on and plug me in
I want to feel that heat begin
Don't move till the morning comes
And you can fly up to the sun
So come on and plug me in
Plug me in
Plug me in"
Donna liked her heater
Her electric heater
Upstairs alone with the elements
She dream of gold and frankincense
(frank, frank, frankincense)
And she heard it say
"Come on and plug me in
I want to feel that heat begin
Come close and listen while I sing
I won't melt your precious wings
So come on and plug me in
Plug me in
Plug me in"
"Come on and plug me in
I want to feel that heat begin
Although my body is rusting through
I have carried this song for you...
It's from the Sphinx and the Serpent too
So plug me in"
It's most true. Except the wire and clay bit... and I think my heater speaks Japanese... and I haven't been dreaming of frankencense lately - I had a weird one about performance artists in polar fleece this afternoon though. Also I didn't buy the heater, it was purchased for me by my BOE. But I spent so much time singing this song on my bike (I've said it before and I'll will say it again, biking and singing is a most rejuvinating thing) that I just wanted to share.
All credit and glory to Don McGlashen.

Can I be friends with your heater too? Then I'll have two friends!!!
Surely. He/she is mighty friendly. Incidentally do you think the heater is more of a Eunice or a Eustace? I Thought about Eunstace but that makes me a little uncomfortable.
Oh dear, I had my heart set on Eunice but now that I say that I feel I'm depriving it in some way. Enice? No... Yes Eunice I think.
