Tape Spool Sound

From Mexico EP2001

Lyrics

Tape Spool Sound

[Verse 1] They don't sound like they Come on that strong Since way back in the day Maybe they're fine-tuning Their detuned noise Into a well-oiled machine [Chorus] What I want is a A tape spool sound What I've got is a bright, young voice What I want is a A whirring fuzz What I've got is some clarity of choice [Verse 2] Needle drop, hard-chopped sound Moving further into the realm Black spin movie reel Beyond some turning wheel [Chorus x2] What I want is a A tape spool sound What I got is a bright, young voice What I want is a A whirring hum What I got is some clarity of choice
