Days Of Vinyl

Do you remember waiting patiently outside
When the delivery to the shop had just arrived
The special moment after months of speculation
As you saw the final cover the first time
Held aloft you felt the weight
Like a trophy you had won
You didn’t dare to hesitate
To get it home and put it on and hear it played

(Chorus)
Oh to relive the days of vinyl
It crackled and popped but you just didn’t care
It meant more than mere survival
Lost yourself in the music
To the world unaware

Do you remember when you heard one of your friends
Had got that album you were dying just to hear
How you invited yourself round to hear the sound
And brought a blank tape to record a souvenir
You sat together on the floor
As the needle hit the groove
A noise you’d never heard before
Engulfed the room and danced around your virgin ears
