Our Lady Peace

Made of Steel

Bob was so amazing at turning ideas that we might never have thought would work into powerful songs. He was also reluctant to give up on certain tracks. 'Made Of Steel' was cut three separate times during the sessions. It wasn't until the third attempt that we all realized that we had captured something special.- Raine Maida, Nettwerk Management, 2002

Lyrics

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A punching bag
A piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think

They found the note down in your car
And it's not your fault it gets this hard, gets this hard

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
I won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me

I can be anything
That you want me to be
A holy cross
Some sympathy, oh
That reminds you not to bleed

They found the note down in your car
And you climbed up here to fall apart, fall apart

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
I won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me

No
Your secrets safe with me

They knock you down
I'll pick you up
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up

But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me
Yeah
Your secrets safe with me
Yeah

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight
