Matty revealed to Pitchfork that he intended for the script to be read by his father.
"I was like, “Fuck that, sounds lame.” And then we were like, “Who should it be?” We just knew immediately. Because earlier this year, post-rehab, I was obsessed with the 2020s, like the idea that this next decade is going to be some retro-future kind of idea. I had, like, purple hair and an orange coat and I was like, “Everything’s going to be fucking super future!” I was just on that kick. I was like, “Robots, robots, robots.”"
He says that he relates to the character, @SnowflakeSmasher86, “probably more than I’d like to.”
"It’s the acknowledgement of an already existing dystopian reality. It sounds like a warning of what a future could be, but you realize it’s exactly what we’re living in."
The background instrumental track in the first half of this song was teased as the background music of numerous promotional videos for this album.
This is a spoken word track recited by Siri about a lonely man who falls in love with the internet. How much do you identify with that character?
"Probably more than I’d like to. It’s just pointing out how fucking weird things are by that removal of the human experience—just hearing a robot saying “cooked animals” on this track is a bad vibe, right? Why is it a bad vibe? This is the question I’m asking. It’s the acknowledgement of an already existing dystopian reality. It sounds like a warning of what a future could be, but you realize it’s exactly what we’re living in."
"The difference between ‘Fitter Happier’ on ‘OK Computer’ when the computer talks and ‘The Man Who Married A Robot’ is that ‘The Man Who Married A Robot’ is a more realistic voice. That voice on ‘OK Computer’ was dead weird, but when you hear Siri, you don’t react anymore. They put those voices in the fucking kitchen and get them to get eggs now. If Siri had appeared on that Radiohead album, it would have been even more sinister and weird, but we’re just used to it. We’re used to all this shit."

The Man Who Married a Robot / Love Theme
The 1975 Lyrics
This is a story about a lonely, lonely man
He lived in a lonely house, on a lonely street
In a lonely part of the world
But, of course, he had the internet
The internet, as you know was his friend
You could say his best friend
They would play with each other everyday
Watching videos of humans doing all sorts of things
Having sex with each other
Informing people on what was wrong with them and their life
Playing games with young children at home with their parents
One day, the man, whose name was @SnowflakeSmasher86
Turned to his friend, the internet, and he said, "Internet, do you love me?"
The internet looked at him and said, "Yes
I love you very, very, very, very, very, very much
I am your best friend
In fact, I love you so much that I never, ever want us to be apart, ever again, ever"
"I would like that", said the man
And so they embarked on a life together
Wherever the man went, he took his friend
The man and the internet went everywhere together
Except, of course, the places where the internet could not go
They went to the countryside
They went to birthday parties of the children of some of his less important friends
Different countries, even the moon
When the man got sad, his friend had so many clever ways to make him feel better
He would get him cooked animals
And show him the people having sex again
And he would always, always agree with him
This one was the man's favorite and it made him very happy
The man trusted his friend so much
"I feel like I could tell you anything," he said, on a particularly lonely day
"You can, you can tell me anything
I'm your best friend, anything you say to me will stay strictly between you and the internet"
And so he did, the man shared everything with his friend
All of his fears and desires
All of his loves, past and present
All of the places he had been and was going, and pictures of his penis
He would tell himself, "Man does not live by bread alone"
And then he died in his lonely house, on the lonely street, in that lonely part of the world
You can go on his Facebook
He lived in a lonely house, on a lonely street
In a lonely part of the world
But, of course, he had the internet
The internet, as you know was his friend
You could say his best friend
They would play with each other everyday
Watching videos of humans doing all sorts of things
Having sex with each other
Informing people on what was wrong with them and their life
One day, the man, whose name was @SnowflakeSmasher86
Turned to his friend, the internet, and he said, "Internet, do you love me?"
The internet looked at him and said, "Yes

And then he died in his lonely house, on the lonely street, in that lonely part of the world
You can go on his Facebook

on Chocolate
Hey now, call it a spliff because I know that you will
Oh you bite your friends like chocolate
You said we go where nobody know
We got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
マリファナを頼むのは、君がそれを欲しがるからさ
君は友人をチョコレートみたいに噛むんだ
誰も知らないところへ行こうって言って
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Now run run away from the boys in the blue
Oh my car smells like chocolate
And now I think about what you do
I think about what they say
I think about how to think
Pause it play, pause it play, pause it
今は逃げるんだ、あの青い制服の男たちから
チョコレートの香りがする俺の車で
今は君のすることを考えて
奴らの吐く言葉を考えて
どうやって考えるべきかを考えて
ちょっと待って、いったん止めて考えよう
Oh we go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
僕らは誰も知らないところへ行く
ペチコートの下の銃を掴む
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it
If you don't stop smoking it
Thats's what she said
あなたはやめてはだめ
逃げてはだめ
諦めてはダメ
葉っぱをやめないならね
これが彼女の言葉
She said we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Hey now we're building up speed
As we're appoaching the hill
Oh my hair smells like chocolate
Hey now you say you're gonna quit it
But you're never gonna quit it
Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go
Play cool
スピードを上げていく
丘に近づくにつれて
髪はチョコレートの香りがする
君はやめるって言ってるけど
絶対にやめられないよ
さあ、やって
クールにさ
Oh you said
We go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
僕らは誰も知らないところへ行く
ペチコートの下の銃を掴む
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Well I think we better go
Seriously better go
I said the feds are here you know
Seriously better go
Well I think we better go
I said the feds are here you know
Said Rebecca better know
Seriously better go
僕らは逃げるべきだって思うんだ
真剣にさ
捜査官がすぐそばにいる
絶対に逃げたほうが良い
逃げるべきだ
捜査官がすぐそばにいる
レベッカ分かってくれ
逃げたほうが良いんだ
We go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
僕らは誰も知らないところへ行く
ペチコートの下の銃を掴む
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
