lyrics

I can’t remember where I was the day I heard that sound
I only know it felt as if the world stopped turning round
The television froze me in my tracks, I came apart
Like up till then I’d never really felt with all my heart
The music set on fire the things that life had only warmed
And where I’d been a child, I was alive, I was transformed

The day the record changed
The planets rearranged
The soundtrack of my life in every frame

When I was young my life was just a map without a road
But when I heard that song it felt as if I’d cracked the code
The key to my existence from that moment to today
Now every time I listen I know there’s no other way
A beautiful compulsion an emotional affair
The sound has been a friend to me when no one else was there

At first I asked myself what is it?
Sort of magic? Kind of physics?
Something that can stop the traffic
Nothing more than mathematics
Human beings pressing keys
Fulfil my every single need
More than the sum of all it’s parts
These are the masters of the arts
The wonder of it all!
