Lyrics
I used to be new Everyone would cheer when I start to sing And the papers called me the next big thing I used to have you They loved me a lot but you loved me most I was always the subject of every toast But now you're gone and now nobody's cheering The next big thing no longer lies ahead Each day is an attempt at persevering I wish each day was yesterday instead And I saved a dusty forty-five One that captures a voice from another time A memento of when I was in my prime Back then when you were alive I could play it, sure, but I never do 'Cause the music just makes me think of you Anyway, I guess that it's been a while Since my forty-fives would have been in style Oh well, as far as I can tell They don't spin those records anymore They don't spin those records anymore And even if they I'd be too scared to sing along 'Cause what if I've forgotten the song I used to be strong And my voice would kill in any key I never had to take the harmony I used to belong When the soundtrack at parties was sure to be One that featured an album that featured me They'd play but not today They don't spin those records anymore No they don't They don't spin those records anymore No they don't And even if they I'd be too scared to sing along 'Cause what if I've forgotten the song No! Time moves forward and it moves fast Time! Oh yeah Vinyl is a thing of the past Is a thing of the past Is living proof that nothing can last Hey, yeah yeah The record long since played Is sure to crack and fade I don't want to be young No I wanna go and I want a place Where the eyes don't roll when I show my face There's so many songs to be sung But I'm much too tired to generate A sound or a voice and it's just too late for me So regretfully She don't spin those records anymore I won't spin those records anymore She don't spin those records anymore Leaving them inside the dusty drawer Even if she did I wouldn't wanna sing along 'Cause I know that they've forgotten my song My song My song And records make it clear to see That the song's forgotten me Goodnight, Charlie
