lyrics

I like to cook at weekends
It helps me to chill
I like to take a step around
The salt and pepper mill
And while I’m slicing onions
It’s like therapy to me
I like to play my music
It’s heavenly

But my iPod has turned into Hank Williams
It’s the only stuff the thing will play
I know the songs are sung and loved by millions
But sometimes I just wish he’d go away

Take care when I’m preparing
What I’m putting on the plate
I like to make nice gravy and a pile of roast potatoes
And all the time I’m listening to my music having fun
I know that even good things can be overdone

My iPod has turned into Hank Williams
It’s the only stuff the thing will play
I know the songs are sung and loved by millions
But sometimes I just wish he’d go away

Oh I remember times when the shuffle gently ran
Through a touch of KT Tunstall
And a slice of Steely Dan
And now it just don’t matter
Which option that I choose
I get the lonesome blues

Used to get some Mozart
A little modern jazz
Some say machines, they don’t have minds
But this one clearly has
And it’s made up to focus on one particular guy
Now am I doomed to listen ‘til I die?

My iPod has turned into Hank Williams
It’s the only stuff the thing will play
I know the songs are sung and loved by millions
But sometimes I just wish he’d go away
