CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Spin Those Records
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
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

No they don't
They don't spin those records anymore
No they don't
