January Tales

Well, I’ve never owned a car, TV, laptop or microwave oven
(And not just because I'm poor, or stubborn).
I’ve never even thought about buying a games console, or a Kindle,
Or a suitcase on wheels
(I just don’t like the way it feels).
I've never hashtagged or Tweeted
(Neither standing or seated).
But I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
(No, that’s a lie, it’s a line from a Springsteen song).
But I do got a 40-year-old temperamental record player that's in need of constant repair,
Oh yeah.
But I do got a 40-year-old temperamental record player that's in need of constant repair,
Oh yeah.
And to be fair
It's my favourite thing I own
Even if about it I constantly moan.
