Rainy Day Record Lyrics

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 aloneFor 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 twoBands crash and people cry,
Everyone here is really shook
Trying hard, the kids can't shake it
You can't fool ol' Peter HookThey 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 bornFor 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 twoFor 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 tooTranslator, 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 MoorePopul Vuh, Agitpop
Elliott Smith, The Dream SyndicateFor 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 sayFor 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 twoFor 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
