Rainy Day Record Lyrics - The Light In You - Mercury Rev

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 alone 

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 waitin' for side two 

Bands 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 hold my breath waiting for side two 

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 

Translator, 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 Moore 

Popul Vuh, Agitpop 

Elliott Smith, The Dream Syndicate 

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 

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 waitin' for side two 

For 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
