Lonely VCR

Hello. I'm Joanne, your old VCR. Did you know it's been 6 years since you used me for anything? I'm just here on standby the whole time.

I'm still hooked up to the tv. I'm still plugged in cos I share an extension thing with Dick the DVD player. And I lie here, blinking. All the zeroes. It's always midnight for Joanne. I'm neglected, covered in dust. You never rewind anything any more. I feel like I'm not part of your life. So I decided to express myself the only way I know how - a country music song.

Sometimes, it's hard, to be a Thomson
(Long Play Video ND)
Given all, your new, fancy machines.

You don't, miss me
Cassettes, are shitty
Now you have replay, on demand.

But if you, loved me
Then don't, forget me
After all, I'm on, the tv stand.

Standby Joanne
Could show you 80's football
And, looking back, remind you
Of days, before the backpass.

Standby Joanne
Could show you old tv shows
Including ads, for Raisin Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Stand, by, Joanne.
