Rainy Day Record
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
