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 CBGB’s Everybody thought I was crazy We all know I was there I was there I’ve never been wrong I used to work in the record store I had everything before anyone 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 1988 But I’m losing my edge To better-looking people With better ideas and more talent And they’re actually really, really nice I’m losing my edge I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Peech Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagara record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, ’86, ’87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good ’60s cut and another box set from the ’70s I hear you’re buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know But have you seen my records?
