THE LONELINESS OF A VINYL RECORD

THE LONELINESS OF A VINYL RECORD

 

 

I WAS ONCE NEW

AND SHINNY

 

NOW IM HERE

ALL DUSTY AND GRIMEY

 

IT TOOK NINE MONTHS

TO MAKE ME

AND WHEN THEY FINISHED

THEY REALLY LOVED ME

 

THEY TOOK ME

ROUND TO FRIENDS

AND SHOWED ME OFF

LIKE A NEW BORN BABY

 

MY EARLY LIFE

WAS REALLY HAPPY

MY SLEEVE WAS STRONG

MY VOICE WAS LOUD

I SMELT SO NICE

EVERYBODY WANTED ME

 

I WENT FROM

SHOP,TO HOME,TO PARTY

PEOPLE COULDNT

GET ENOUGH OF ME

 

EVERY PARTY

I WOULD GET A SPIN

SOMETIME I ENDED UP

QUITE DIZZY

 

AS YEARS WENT ON

PARTIES SLOWED

I STARTED TO GET LEFT BEHIND

 

SOMETIME I WOULD

COME OUT AT CHRISTMAS

 

AND TRY TO RELIVE MY YOUTH

BUT I WAS NEVER TREATED THE SAME

 

AT FIRST I WAS LOVED

BUT NOW IM CAST ASIDE

 

LIKE THAT AUNTIE

WHOS ALWAYS THERE

BUT NO ONES KNOWS

 

LEFT ON THE FLOOR

TO PICK UP DUST

TILL SOMEONE 

THROWS ME BACK IN MY SLEEVE

 

ONCE I WAS BEAUTIFUL

I DIDNT HAVE NO CRACKS

I USED TO SOUND SO YOUNG

BUT NOW I HUM, CLICK, AND HISS 

 

AND NOW IT S TIME TO GO

MY OWNER GOT CD YOU KNOW

 

NOW IM SITTING HERE IN THE COLD

WAITING FOR SOMEONE

TO TAKE ME IN

AND LOVE ME ONCE AGAIN

 

ALL I CAN SAY

IS THANK GOD FOR

RECORD STORE DAY
