lyrics
Once a street of art
With a small screen left
The lights went out
With little regret
Belmont Street
A shadow of itself
Sharks and dives
Mirror empty shelves
Physical connections
Are lost in the past
Digital convenience
Collector outcasts
A slow industry
Smoking cigars
Peer to peer networks
Landed from Mars
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
A culture office
Replaced the last strand
Hard to make up
In fairyland
Cobbled streets
Junk in the cracks
Liquor churches
Playing the tracks
Supposed to be closer
More connected
Further away
Every day
Sit in the house
It’s too easy
Those hours waiting
Completely needy
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
Middle men are gone
Desperate for relevance
Mass marketed
For lifestyle benefits
There are less dreamers
Looking for fame
Struggling devotees
Still doing the same
Work work work
Get paid paid paid
Too busy feeling pockets
Vibrating away
Gormless glances
At plastic toys
Search engines
Background noise
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
Independents died
Corporates cried
Clinging to games
Sales diversified
