lyrics

I’VE GOT A STACK OF OLD 45S AND I DON’T WANT ‘EM ANYMORE
IF YOU’VE GOT A USE FOR ‘EM, STOP BY AND PICK ’EM UP
THEY’LL BE IN A BAG BY THE SIDE DOOR
BUT THEY DON’T SOUND LIKE THEY USED TO
AND THEY DON’T MEAN WHAT THEY USED TO

I HAD A DREAM IN THE BACK OF MY MIND SO I DUG IT UP AND WROTE IT IN A SONG
I THOUGHT I’D DUST IT OFF AND SHINE IT UP LIKE NEW
BUT THEN IT ALL JUST CAME OUT WRONG
‘CAUSE IT DON’T SOUND LIKE IT USED TO
AND IT DON’T MEAN WHAT IT USED TO
MAYBE I’M OLDER NOW, MAYBE I’M AFRAID TO SEE
HOW THESE THINGS CHANGE TO ME

OH, WON’T YOU TAKE ME HOME?
‘CAUSE I’M TOO SCARED NOW
AND I DON’T CARE ANYMORE
OH, WON’T YOU SIT ME DOWN AND HELP ME SEE
HOW THESE THINGS CHANGE TO ME?

I MADE A PHONE CALL, A WEEK AGO, TO AN OLD FORGOTTEN FRIEND
I THOUGHT WE’D GET CAUGHT UP, I THOUGHT WE’D KILL SOME TIME
BUT IT WAS SHORT-LIVED IN THE END
IT DIDN’T SOUND LIKE IT USED TO
IT DIDN’T MEAN WHAT IT USED TO
MAYBE I’M OLDER NOW, MAYBE I’M AFRAID TO SEE
HOW THESE THINGS CHANGE TO ME

OH, WON’T YOU TAKE ME HOME?
‘CAUSE I’M TOO SCARED NOW
AND THIS AIN’T FUNNY ANYMORE
OH, WON’T YOU SIT ME DOWN AND HELP ME SEE
HOW THESE THINGS CHANGE TO ME?
