10 More Smartphones

Liner Notes

Lyrics

What’s important as we spend our time on earth And the sands of time run out
It really isn’t what you buy that shows your worth That isn’t what it’s all about

I’ll buy 10 more smartphones so I can talk to you, 9 more suits of clothes secondhand or new
8 more season tickets for my local team 7 more mattresses so I can sleep and dream
6 more TVs to keep me entertained 5 games consoles if I can be restrained
I am hoping that I’ll buy 4 more guitars 3 more 3 piece suites and maybe 2 more cars
Maybe one more house with one bedroom downstairs, Zero chance of any further love affairs
Can you measure out your life in what you buy How to spend what you have left before you die

As I get older I guess it’s in my genes and I ask the reason why
Measure out my life in new washing machines Is this the last one that I’ll buy?

Clever song with multiple layers here. Love it.

Oh wow - I *LOVE* this take on the song prompt. It's so cheerful and fun that the meaning of it kind of snuck up on me and that made it hit really hard. "Three more three-piece suits" is so delightful. We'd love to have you join the song circle on Fridays if you're ever free at 6pm UK time for a Zoom!
