[Verse 1]
Thursday evening blues are here
Simon says give a tired cheer
And move your mouth to the ice cream tunes
With fragile friends like party balloons

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pop, there goes another song
Three more minutes have elapsed and gone
Fun served up on a paper plate
Easily disposed at a later date

[Chorus 1]
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's-
Nothing injected but money infected motives
The needle's stuck

[Verse 2]
Tuesday lunch time lottery show
Says yes to soap and to music no
Here today and gone tomorrow
Washed away without the slightest sorrow

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Media circus of family troupes
And gift-wrap perfectly symmetrical grooves
From east to west and north to south
Hear model music from the modeled mouth
[Chorus 2]
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's-
Nothing injected but money infected motives
The needle's stuck

[Bridge]
Remixing yesterday in the hope of molding today
Follow up to one-time one-offs
Wallow up to your ears in spin-offs
Whatever became of music
For just its own sake

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Pop, there goes another song
Three more minutes have elapsed and gone
Fun served up on a paper plate
Easily disposed at a later date

[Chorus 3]
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected motives
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected motives
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected motives
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
Nothing injected but money infected motives
The needle's stuck
The needle's stuck
