letra de volunteer dj - fishboy

i’m a volunteer dj
at a radio station
whose transmission stretches
only five miles
and though i agree the form’s obsolete
i feel that i need to perform with style

simultaneous playlists
in a red spiral notebook
of internet treasures
and crate digging gems

and sad as it seems
they would feel more complete
if i had both the time
and means to hear all
that there is

but i may never know
no, i may never know

and my favorite album
i found in the bas-m-nt
of a gently used bookstore
a local releasе
and twenty years since
i’m still not convincеd
that an album exists that means that much to me
they were mid-70’s rockers
they vanish completely
but i own all of their records
the whole discography
and don’t get me wrong:
it’s okay that they’re gone
but i feel like they stopped
before reaching their peak
and we may never know
no, we may never know

and in the bookstore last night
i saw the singer of the band stand in line
i must admit i didn’t dare waste his time
i stood and watched as he was selling lps
to the register teen
somewhat relieved and impressed
fifty dollars, fifty dollars at best

“and a baby is crying in the back bedroom,”
i write in my notebook
as she gets rocked to sleep
“someday you’ll find the best songs of all time
may they be priceless and worthless
like all the best things.”
