Christmas day, a box, a letter
i took it out put the whole thing together
i turned it on and heard this tune
i pressed record and taped whatever
Rick Dees and the news and the weather
there's talking through the only part i need

Waiting around all of the night
sitting alone with the stereo light
it took a long time to rewind thats how it used to be
breaking the law send me a fine
copy cassettes if your mother don't mind
and theres a hot spot in my heart for how we used to be

On the bus detention wherever
we shared a walkman it brought us together
you made a mix and played it out to me
that song i taped for emma
the girl i thought i would be with forever
i took too long she carried on with steve

Waiting around all of the night
sitting alone with the stereo light
it took a long time to rewind thats how it used to be
breaking the law send me a fine
copy cassettes if your mother don't mind
and theres a hot spot in my heart for how we used to be

Waiting around all of the night
sitting alone with the stereo light
it took a long time to rewind thats how it used to be
breaking the law send me a fine
copy cassettes yeah we did it all the time
and theres a hot spot in my heart for how we used to be
