About Love Machine

"Love Machine" is a song recorded by British girl group Girls Aloud from their second studio album, What Will the Neighbours Say? (2004). It was released by Polydor Records on 13 September 2004, as the second single from the album. The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, Nick Coler, Lisa Cowling, Myra Boyle, and Shawn Lee. The instrumentation was inspired by The Smiths, and created by Powell and Coler. "Love Machine" is an uptempo song with elements of the 1980 synthpop. The single was received favourably by contemporary music critics, who deemed it as joyful track that was different from the single releases by other artists at the time. According to research carried out for Nokia in 2006, "Love Machine" is the second "most exhilarating" song ever. "Love Machine" debuted and peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, continuing the band's string of hits by becoming their sixth consecutive single to chart within the top three. The song also peaked inside the top ten in Europe and Ireland. The accompanying music video was directed by Stuart Gosling, and portrays the five members in a nightclub/restaurant scene dancing and sipping champagne whilst singing their song. Girls Aloud performed "Love Machine" on all of their tours and on several live appearances, including at Disney Channel Kids Awards, TMF Awards 2005, and at The Girls Aloud Party TV special in 2008. English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys covered the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.

Ladies you're damn right
You can't read a man's mind
We're living in two tribes
And heading for war
Well nobody's perfect
We all gotta work it
Cause fellas we're worth it
So don't break the law

Your calls late a big mistake
You gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind
And I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped, kitty-cats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Let's go, Eskimo, out into the blue

Come take my hand, understand, 
That you can, you're my man, 
And I need you tonight

Come make my dreams, 
Honey hard as it seems, 
Loving me is as easy as pie

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbors say?
This time

I've been going crazy while you sleep
Searching for a language that the two of us can speak
So Mr. Prehistoric make your wheel
And I'll breathe underwater 
'cause I like the way it feels

Your calls late a big mistake
You gotta hang around in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind
And I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped, kitty-cats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Let's go, Eskimo, out into the blue

Come take my hand,
Understand, that you can, 
You're my man, and I need you tonight

Come make my dreams, 
Honey hard as it seems, 
Loving me is as easy as pie

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbors say?
This time

Oh, its very new, 
Can anybody tell me what to do?
Oh, this feeling's very strange, 
Can anybody tell me what's your game?
Oh, a little education
Oh, to give you motivation
Oh, to turn the situation, round

Oh, 'cause I don't want to change ya
Oh, making you a stranger
Oh, I'll only be your angel, aloud

I'm just a love machine 
(oh, a little motivation, oh)
I'm just a love machine
I'm just a love machine
(oh, a little motivation, oh)
I'm just a love machine 
oh, oh, oh
