lyrics

We lack shellac so come on bring that beat back,
drop the needle on the spiral of the vinyl track,
slip that mat and bring that cross fade back and when the beats match set for relapse,
catch the moment hold it it won't be long before the stories told and gone and reminisce until your teeth are long,
grin and say that old cliche mate that back in the day I was a rave dj

Back before I fried my mind and worked it overtime it was great to dig in crates wasting time and be the next in line for buried finds,
labels whiter than any face paint on any mimes so when you struck gold knew this time you'd tingle many spines,
this whole rigmarole could crush your soul thirty thirsty Dj's round a water hole waiting for a water bowl,
like the Masons once they knew your face you'd get a wink a nod a "mate I saved you this there's only twenty two exist"
days and wages used - just one more recluse vinyl more addictive than any known form of drug abuse,
my walls adorned in flyers Technic's the pyre Dj messiah with hymns preaching sermons get us higher,
it's all about the sound you found the decks the blood and the sweat on the set to perfect before you recorded to cassette,
it was more than just a lad alone at home with two gramophones
and if that's what you thought you've clearly never party thrown!

This was a movement no one said it but we fucking knew it,
that kind of culture that crept up through the street and grabbed your feet picked you up and grew it through it changed your frame of mind this feeling lasts forever but over in the shortest time,
I wish these kids'd get to see the industry before an mp3 and hold a song long before they put it on
Long before they digitally time stretched the hits and changed the whole concept of the mix and swapped the skill for fix
This was underground we found a part of the wonder sound
The loudest calls of tribal roars in dancing halls they'd seen before
Dance floors were crowded got pounded down below foundations to sounds of youth frustrations bass and pirate stations
The infrastructure got in ya hooked ya culture ruptured
Your blood were flooded till your minds instructed limbs erupted
And then the soul ignited no point to try to fight it
Parents said the sixties but man I had the early nineties
