| About: |
I'm losing my edge
the kids are coming up from behind
I'm losing my edge
to the kids from france and from london
But i was there
I was there in 1968
I was there at the first Can show
I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear on the decks every night
I'm losing my edge
to the internet seekers, who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962-1978
I'm losing my edge
to all the kids in Tokyo & Berlin
to the art school brooklynites, in little jackets & borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80's
I'm losing my edge
but i was there
in 1974, for the first Suicide practices, in a loft in New York City. I was working on the organ sounds
I was there when captain beefheart started his first band.
I told him, 'Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime'
I was there
I was the first guy playing daft punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGBs. they all thought it was crazy
We all know, i was there
I've never been wrong. i used to work in a record store
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan
I was there in jamaica during the great sound clashes
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in '88
But i'm losing my edge
to better looking kids, with more ideas & more talent
& they're really, really nice
I heard you have a compilation of every good song done by anybody
every great song by the Beach Boys.
all the underground hits
all the Modern Lover's tracks
I heard you have vinyl of every Niagra necord, on german import
I heard you have a white label of every seminal detroit techno track - 85, 86, 87
I heard you have a cd compilation of every great 60s track and another box set of the 70s
I hear you're buying a synthesizer, and an arpegiator and throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real
You wanna make a yaz record
I hear your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables
I hear your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars
I hear everybody you know is more relevant than everybody i know
You don't know what you really want
