Lyrics for Coin-Operated Boy as interpreted by okokayok

Coin-Operated Boy Lyrics
Coin operated boy
Sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
But I turn him on and he comes to life
Automatic joy
That is why I want a coin operated boy

Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more?
Love without complications galore
Many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
Wrap my arms around him and pretend

Coin operated boy
All the other real ones that I destroy
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy
And I'll never let him go
And I'll never be alone
Not with my coin operated boy

This bridge was written to make you feel smittener
With my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy?
I didn't think so but I'm still convinceable
Will you persist even after I bet you
A billion dollars that I'll never love you?
Will you persist even after I kiss you
Goodbye for the last time?
Will you keep on trying to prove it?
I'm dying to lose it
I want it
I want you
I want a coin operated boy

And if I had a star to wish on
For my life i can't imagine
Any flesh and blood could be his match
I can even take him in the bath

Coin operated boy
He may not be real experienced with girls
But I know he feels like a boy should feel
Isn't that the point?
That is why I want a
Coin operated boy
With his pretty coin operated voice
Saying that he loves me
That he's thinking of me
Straight and to the point
That is why I want
A coin operated boy

about a hopeless romantic girl who wishes her 'coin operated boy' would love her like a real man and she wouldnt have to face all of the complications and emotions of a relationship.

Heard a live version, where she says "I can even fuck him in the ass" instead of "take him in the bath"

"A skewed nursery-rhyme melody moves from despondent resignation to a desperate plea for true love."
good description of this song.

The version which says
"I can even fuck him in the ass"
is a live version. And I stand by my theory that this song is about a sex toy, most likely a Dildo.

That's what it seems like. She's sick of putting up with our shit, so she just got herself a vibrator. Glad to see Nikkie STILL has no idea what she'd talking about.

i saw them live and they are SO amazing. And penatr8 is right, she does say fuck him in the ass, instead of take him in the bath. it is so hilarious.

she had such an intensity throughout the whole show, it was amazing.

A dildo has no ass. You cannot fuck a dildo in the ass. Clearly, the song is about a sextoy on one level, but there are enough words and phrases scattered throughout that hint that there is more to the song than "Ode to a Vibrator". The song is using a sextoy as a metaphor, asking us to imagine a lovetoy: something you could turn on and off at will, and have it love you when you wanted, just like you can turn on a vibrator and get instant satisfaction, on your own schedule.

the coin operated boy is nothing more than a male prostitute with a bunch of sexual toys that turn her on. after shes done she pays him....probably in coins....

..... ummm. please. give amanda more credit. I don't think this song is as literal as you make it out to be. i don't think it's about a dildo or a sextoy.. but more about domination over a guy, and not being emotionally controlled by one or reliant on one. it's about not being disappointed, and about not being hurt continually.

oooh this song makes me laugh.. just cos its so nice and bouncy.
it may be about a sex toy.. but i doubt it, it should be about a girl who wants a physical relationship and an affectionate partner, but she doesnt want to have to give anything back :)

My two cents..... I just recently heard this song, and loved it.....

At first, I thought it was about a dildo, but, after listening to the lyrics, and seeing the video, it's not about that at all. She's been through alot of guys, and emotionally wrecked. In the bridge of the song, she makes an honest plea for an old lover, and she gives up, and creates this "plastic fantasy" of a coin operated boy who gives her the love she needs when she needs it and has no other purpose; and she subsequently has complete control and domination over him. Thus the line "I can even fuck him in the ass" in the live version. Go to their site, watch the video, and you'll get it.

This song is awesome. I love that at their shows you see a bunch of hardcore goths rocking out to a song that has a melody that songs like it should be played on Sesame Street. Amanda and Brian peform wonderfully together.

on some level this may be about a dildo, but it has emotional content too. she's lonely, and sick of the dullshit boys brings, so she gets herself a nice dildo. :D

It isn't about a dildo. She's in love with boy, he probably loves her back, obviously they have weird ways of showing it. She doesn't want to admit that she loves boy, because she's afraid of the complications of the relationship. So, she has created her own fantasy, a relationship that has no complications, no troubles.. During the bridge and thereafter you can tell in her voice that she is quite torn. Sorry kids, but it's much deeper than a story about a sex toy.

"Sorry kids, but it's much deeper than a story about a sex toy."

I think I'd give it more respect if it were about a sex toy, regardless I think it's up in the air on an exact definition. Phone sex operators are "coin operated boys", so are prostitutes, so are FWB's.

Were I live, the only time you can watch the song is late at night, on the weekend late night music show. And I've never heard it on the radio. :(
