Markin' It Down
Swansea Sound
I like to visit the second hand store
The vinyl is much cheaper to get
I know you’ll think that I am a cheapskate
Have you got the Yard Act album in yet?
We’ve got several boxes of those in
We’ve got all the colours in fact
Down there in the special bargain bin
And back here in these polythene sacks
Could you make a recommendation?
Anything else you think I should try?
I may look uncool but I’ve got taste
I'm an adventurous kind of guy
You could try this single by Kleenex
Or maybe this old LP by Can
And here’s a battered copy of Grotesque
You look like a Fall kind of man
And I'm
Markin’ it down (two for eleven)
Markin’ it down (this is like heaven)
Markin’ it down
Markin’ it down (two for eleven)
Markin’ it down (this is like heaven)
Markin’ it down
Markin’ it down
Is there something else I can get you?
Or are you just hanging around?
I just wondered if you would listen
To a brand new kind of sound
My band’s playing down near the station
In that place where beers sold in cans
That pub has got a bad reputation
They only put on crap covers bands
We do all our own material
Except one track by Sonic Youth
We just got a load of their old CDs in
No one really likes it in truth
So I'm
Markin’ it down (two for eleven)
Markin’ it down (this is like heaven)
Markin’ it down
