Rainy Day Record

Lyrics

For the first time in forever I lay the needle down inside the groove And for the first time in forever I hold my breath waiting for side two For the first time in forever I bought a record for a rainy day Pretty soon they'll be gone forever Or at least that's what they say And when I hear what's turned to gold now I really wish I had 'turned to stone' The tone arm moves, the vinyl crackles And suddenly I'm not alone Band's crash and people cry Everyone here is really shook Trying hard, the kids can't shake it You can't fool ol' Peter Hook They really want to but they just can't fake it Trying hard to look old and worn Facebook butterflies flap their wings and Suddenly a Brooklyn band is born For the first time in forever I lay the needle down inside the groove And for the first time in forever I feel like getting lost in it too Translator, Wire, Dead Can Dance A needle on a record is a second chance Talk Talk, Felt, Romeo Void Give me The Fall, "I'm totally wired" Splat Cats, Opal, Terry Riley Kaka de Luxe and Derek and Clive I'm so bored of four on the floor Bring me the ear of Thurston Moore Popul Vuh, Agitpop Elliott Smith, The Dream Syndicate For the first time in forever I bought a record for a rainy day Pretty soon they'll be gone forever Or at least that's what they say For the first time in forever I lay the needle down inside the groove And for the first time in forever I'm hearing bands like they're all brand new
