"Record Collection" lyrics
Mark Ronson & The Business Intl Lyrics
(feat. Simon Le Bon & Wiley)
[Wiley:]
Eskiboy, Mark Ronson
Put this one in your record box!
[Mark Ronson:]
I take too long to answer telephones
I take too long to type my name and record messages
But my hand writing is excellent
In fact, it's second to none, none
I just got in from somewhere really good
They offered me the part of Bono and a speaking role
With all the merchandise and sunglasses
I could ever need, need
I drive 'round cities in a chariot
I get preferential treatment at the Marriott
But if the truth be told
I'm naked under all these clothes
[Simon Le Bon:]
I'll tell you what it is on my mind, whoa
I only want to be in your record collection, whoa, aah
I only want to be in your record collection, whoa, aah
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
[Mark Ronson:]
My brain is buzzing and the room is strange
Like that scene in Trading Places at the stock exchange
I made a million overnight in '87
Now I'm living in my parking space, parking space
My teeth are bright and my hair is clean
I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen
But in the rain, we all look wet
And in the snow, we all look cold
[Simon Le Bon:]
I'll tell you what it is on my mind, whoa
I only want to be in your record collection, whoa, aah
I only want to be in your record collection, whoa, aah
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
[Wiley:]
Yo, Eskiboy
A-listed (A-listed)
Disgusted by all the flashiness
I think I'm a don, they think I'm an actor but I catch this (Catch)
My two needs are a pillow and a mattress
Once I can fill up the space with a famous actress
Give me a mil', I'll do a DJ set
I pull spikey with the green like a cactus
Showoff, ego's high, you can't match this
Chauvinistic pig, Money Man tactics
[Mark Ronson:]
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
It got pointed out to me as I was tying the knot
And all I want to know is
How I got so far down, down
I'm not as lucky as I thought I was
My luck ran out the other day as I was crossing the road
Who would have thought a truck like that
Could cause so much?
[Simon Le Bon:]
I'll tell you what it is on my mind, whoa
I only want to be in your record collection, whoa, aah
I only want to be in your record collection, whoa, aah
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
