Old Thing Songtext
von Hello Midlands

The next thing is the best thing
The nice man said to me
And Soon they′ll be arriving in my store
The next thing is the thing you need
The best thing that we've ever made
You soon won′t need that old thing anymore

When you were new
You could do anything
Back when you arrived you were such a shiny thing

The new thing is the old thing
But with greatly enhanced sound
The new thing makes the old thing look so bad
The old thing is depreciating
Now the new things almost here
The old thing's going to end up in the ground

When you were new
You could do anything
Back when you arrived you were such a shiny thing


You were the thing that I wanted so very bad
You were the thing I played on to keep me from feeling sad
You were my thing and I loved you until I outgrew you
You were my only thing when you were new

The old thing has retired now
But I couldn't say goodbye
The old thing never thought that it would stop
The new thing′s looking worried now
Though it gets so much of our time
I swear I catch it glancing at the clock

When you were new
You could do
Anything
Back when you arrived you were such a shiny thing

You were the thing that I wanted so bad
You were the thing I played on to keep me from feeling sad
You were my thing and I loved you until I outgrew you
You were my only thing when you were new

We could do anything when we were new
