Mitch Benn And The Distractions - The Hardest Song In The World To Find lyrics

This is the hardest song in the world to find This is the hardest song in the world to find It first saw the light of day as a fan-club only flexidisc Although nowadays you won't find even one Because the plastic they were made of was extremely volatile It used to self-combust if let out in the sun It turned up on a compilation that was banned before release The manufacturers were forced to pulp them all Then it came out on the b-side of a top-ten selling hit But only on the version issued in Nepal This is the hardest song in the world to find This is the hardest song in the world to find Then a few years later on a bootleg copy did the rounds Though a rumour quickly spread that it was cursed Because anyone who heard it would drop dead in seven days Unless they made another copy of it first Then just last year an mp3 attachment started to appear In people's e-mail inboxes but I'm afraid It came infected with a virus that erased your whole hard drive Thirty seconds after the first time it was played This is the hardest song in the world to find This is the hardest song in the world to find Everybody thinks this song is lost forever, but not so There's one mint vinyl copy left and I believe That it's in a shop that sells old tapes and second hand LPs On Camden High Street, stuffed in the wrong sleeve And the owner and proprietor's the only one who knows Which sleeve it's in, but he won't give the game away Because he had a stroke this morning, he's in intensive care right now I don't think he's feeling well enough to say This is the hardest song in the world to find This is the hardest song in the world to find This is the hardest song in the world to find This is the hardest song in the world to find
