Poetry And Power
"Ode To The Numan Completist"
(A Parody, Sung To The Tune Of "Absolution")
By Derek Langsford

I would buy every album,
Extended mixes too.
I would buy every single,
Like you expect me to.

Vinyl, cassette, and CD,
12 inch, picture discs too.
I just live to buy music,
Especially if by you.

This is absolute
This is absolution

Sell my plasma to clinics,
Get that single "part 2"
Have no food for a week or more,
To afford what's new.

Push credit cards to the limit,
I have more than a few.
Pay off one with a another,
When the bills come due.

This is absolute
This is absolution

Am I in need of a doctor,
A psychiatrist too?
But there's another live album,
Post-date my cheque to you?

This is absolute
This is absolution
This is absolute
This is absolution
