14 crates of records with my name on 'em That's a lot of music when I'm not dealing with my car Staring at the crates makes me thirsty They smell like dust I haven't listened to one thus far Get drink take a sip, grab a crate get a grip Drag it across the floor like bam bam, it's heavy Pick one without looking, put the needle down Spin it back to the beginning, I'm ready It said please pay attention the words that I say Helped to guide me through I really really hope that they don't slide by. I pa** them on to you Don't let 'em slide by Don't let 'em slide by Don't let 'em slide by Don't let 'em slide It was a mood setter, drums screamed get free Float like a bu*terfly sting like a bee I never really felt a record talking to me Even when I met a DJ who could cut something lovely The boost of energy, the feel of confidence How could I be living life so tense Eased off the controls Put down the reins The only way I could describe it was the opposite of pain. As I listened the words were not there any more It was just those drums and a little keyboard I'm staring at the needle then the crate on the floor And all I could do was mouth more Make a little love Talk a little louder Slow it on down Stand on the brakes Listen up closely Do the right thing I do my own thing It takes what it takes Now there was a hmm hmmmmm... I don't remember But there was a part of the song that did break down I don't mean a beat break but the song did cry
I thought I had died, I thought I had drowned Now I detached myself out of fear Thinking lets get out of here Another persons sorrow is not mine to bear I look at the sleeve, The tears well up in my eyes because my name is printed right there. The record's still spinning, the voices came back I stare at the cover like a mirror, I'm looking back I was relaxed this is so intense I flip over the sleeve and I read the comments It said "I dedicate this record to my brother Andy, With the hope that one day, you can better understand me Until that day here is this one song, I know that you can learn from it, others will take it wrong" Then the break down was over and I held the sleeve tight And I am not gonna say I didn't cry I never wrote this song, no how's or why's But I guess I couldn't say that it told a single lie The last little lyric, in the last little part Was a fire on my heart, a flash of a part I live life like a diesel all pressure no spark So I throw myself out there as a shot in the dark Make a little love Talk a little louder Slow it on down Stand on the brakes Listen up closely Do the right thing I do my own thing It takes what it takes Please pay attention the words that I say Helped to guide me through I really really hope that they don't slide by. I pa** them on to you Don't let 'em slide by Don't let 'em slide by Don't let 'em slide by Don't let 'em slide
