33 1/3 Songtext
von LYR

Thirty-three
And a third
They forced the door
And found in the bedsit
The pulsing hook-line
Of diamond on vinyl
The arm still ploughing
The run-out spiral
The lost module
Of cartridge and stylus
And captured orbit
Around the spindle
A looped, circling
Whirlpooling swan song
That died as they craned up
The weightless needle
And lowered him down
On the rope that he swung from


They forced the door
And found in the bedsit
The pulsing hook-line
Of diamond on vinyl
The arm still ploughing
The run-out spiral
The lost module
Of cartridge and stylus
And captured orbit
Around the spindle
A looped, circling
Whirlpooling swan song
That died as they craned up
The weightless needle
And lowered him down
On the rope that he swung from


Thirty-three
And a third
Thirty-three
And a third
Thirty-three
And a third
They forced the door
And found in the bedsit
The pulsing hook-line
Of diamond on vinyl
The arm still ploughing
The run-out spiral
The lost module
Of cartridge and stylus
And captured orbit
Around the spindle
A looped, circling
Whirlpooling swan song
That died as they craned up
The weightless needle
And lowered him down
On the rope that he swung from
