lyrics

My taste in films is obsolete. My taste in books is obsolete. My taste in girls is obsolete, I’m afraid. My VCR is obsolete. My multitracker’s obsolete. My Sinclair Spectrum’s obsolete, what a shame.

Nothing lasts for long these days, well not in active use anyway – though it may clog up your shed, or cling on underneath your bed.

My Game and Watch is obsolete. My Buck Rogers lollies – obsolete. My favourite biro’s obsolete, I’m afraid. My group of friends is obsolete. My political viewpoint’s obsolete. The tyranny of newness batters all.

The detritus is piling up into vast electronic rubbish dumps. The world’s resources out of the ground, stacked up in unsightly mounds.

Is there time to put it right? Is there bollocks – is there shite. Utopias of yesteryear, left out to rot like student wallpaper. Moving house makes it so clear – “chuck it now, you’re past that now”. But on my new mattress last night, I dreamt it all came back to life – I dreamt it all came back to life – the obsolete came back to life – the obsolete came back to life.

Now Betamax trash DVDs and Sinclair Spectrums mount PCs. A moratorium’s in force, enforced by rayon patterned hordes. Digicams will film no more – they only just kept Channel 4. Cars have remoulded and choppers sprung out, and your house is once again a council house, and Frank Sidebottom is Prime Minister for life – no longer obsolete.
