Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He vapes outside the vinyl store then steps inside
To comb the crates for rarities, it's his delight
His youthful past still floats around
Both in his head and in his sounds
[Verse 2]
The cardboard smells, the inlay cards, the songs that could
Break your heart or lift you up, make you feel good
Takin' him back through many years
To a time when he knew no fear
[Verse 3]
He flicks and finds a precious gem
It takes him back to Lewisham
[Verse 4]
He steps outside to vaporize, it means no harm
His tattoo fadin', ancient now, there on his arm
[Verse 5]
An albatross on mottled skin
Which always serves to remind him
Of a time he wished he could go back
Worshippin' Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
