Needle in the Groove - Dan Bull/Beit Nun

I work a long day

But it's worth it

Knowing when I get home

I can relax and let the songs play

First I check my account

See that I got payed

Then pour myself a tall one

And neck the lot straight

I slip the cassete in the deck

My collections eclectic as it gets

Though everythings fresh

What I select depends purely on my mood

Hiphop folk soul blues

It's all about the groove

Until I fall about the room

In a drunken stupor

Such a looser

Spinning like a DJ on my computer

The bottles gone

I'm a trooper

But now the offie's shut

And I don't fancy one at the boozer

The brandy hit me like a right hook

I like to wright drunk

It empties my mind

And fills up my rhyme book

Two birds one stone

New verse songs done

Pat myself on the back

You sir top bloke

The warm crackle of the needle in the groove

The speakers hiss getting people in the mood

The warm crackle of the needle in the groove

The speakers hiss getting people in the mood

Shut the front door

Jog upstairs and have a shower

Washing the days gray grime out my hair

Could last an hour

But at last I'm out

Fresh as a daisy

The chains are off

And the tunes come on while I make tea

It's basic cuisine

Baked potatoes and beans

But that's the basis I need

To keep the hunger pains away

For the evening

So I can satiate my craving for beats

The curve of the sine wave

Is like the pain of release

Lifes ups and downs

A rollercoaster ride

But right now I'm in control

We're rolling slow tonight

I lower the light

By closing the blinds

And open my minds eyes and ears

To the flow of the vibes

The vinyl spins around

My mind all swims in sound

I feel like a child

Showing off the things I found

Swings and roundabouts

I've been through down and out

I'm doing well for myself

And music's helping me out every time

The warm crackle of the needle in the groove

The speakers hiss getting people in the mood

The warm crackle of the needle in the groove

The speakers hiss getting people in the mood
