Rainy Day Record
For the first time in forever,
I bought a record for a rainy day
Pretty soon they'll be gone forever,
Or at least thats what they say
And when I hear whats 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
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 waitin' for side two
Bands crash and people cry,
Everyone here is really sTrying hard, the kids can't shake it
You can't fool ol' Peter They really want to but they just can't fake it,
Trying hard to look old and worn
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 hold my breath waiting for side two
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's 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 thats 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 hold my breath waitin' for side two
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
I bought a record for a rainy day
Pretty soon they'll be gone forever,
Or at least thats what they say
And when I hear whats 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
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 waitin' for side two
Bands crash and people cry,
Everyone here is really sTrying hard, the kids can't shake it
You can't fool ol' Peter They really want to but they just can't fake it,
Trying hard to look old and worn
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 hold my breath waiting for side two
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

I'm hearing bands like they're all brand new
