Songs from the perspective of inanimate objects

The only one that comes to my mind at the moment is "I'm a Truck" by Red Simpson, but I'm sure there are plenty others. How many can we think of?

 

I'm A Train - Albert Hammond

 

I am a rock - simon & garfunkel.

 

Lightning Seeds-Happy Satellite, 1999

 

the grooviest...
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band- Help I'm A Rock

 

Karl Bartos-The Camera, 2003

 

I'm A Police Car

 

I Am A Tree by the mighty Guided By Voices.

Touch me and see.

Or Simon and Garfunkel ‘I wish I was a Kellogg’s Cornflake, floating in the bowl making movies’ or something like that

 

Frozen Plasma-Artificial (Extincted Species), 2006

 

Steamroller by James Taylor. Several objects in fact.

 

How about instrumentals?

 

Trees? Inanimate? I don't know where you find your nerve...

If the ones at my workplace are anything to go by, "I Am A Scientist" should count too.

 

Good one. Great song. Just needs the YouTube…

 

Another from the country side of things, "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal":

 

I suppose 'I'm the Slime' might qualify, although I guess strictly it's not inanimate in that it's "oozing out from your TV set … along your living room floor".

 

Feel the wind burn through my skin
The pain, the air is killing me
For years my limbs stretched to the sky
A nest for birds to sit and sing

But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't bear the glow
They did so long ago

One day I was full of life
My sap was rich and I was strong
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Through wind and rain I could not fall

But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't offer
Poetry to men of song

Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Pollution and slow death

Oh Lord I lay me down
No life's left to be found
There's nothing left for me

Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this earth can give
Is pollution

Trees like me weren't meant to live
(Oh Lord I lay me down)
If all this earth can give
(My branches to the ground)
Is pollution and slow death
(There's nothing left for me)

Oh Lord I lay me down
My branches to the ground
There's nothing left for me

 

Roy Wood - Miss Clarke and the Computer

(Song is told from the point of view of the computer)

 

Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen has a few examples.
