Another friend is lost to me
Another victim of downloading and piracy
There was a time where I’d write
A prayer or passionate plea
But how the world has changed
My paper and pen for a keyboard
And a touch screen
Where does a relic like me go
To sooth my soul with movies and music
My HMV is lost to me
No more walks to the store
With the excitement of wonder
To what can be discovered
No more talks with the staff about what has come out today
My, how the world has changed
The cold and distorted world of downloading
Has a firm grip
But one day
Just like vinyl
People will hear the plea
Bring back my HMV
