Your Early Stuff Lyrics
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
It's bad in a good way
if you know what I mean
the sound of those old machines
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
Suppose you're more or less
retired now?
I think I read
somewhere how
you've written a book
or a film score
Amazing that you lot
come back for more
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
(Hey, what's your name
anyway?)
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
(Hey, what's your name?)
Those old videos
look pretty funny
What's in for you now?
Need the money?
They say that management
never used to pay
honestly
You got ripped off
back in the day?
Hey, what's your name
anyway?
What's your name?
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
(Hey, what's your name
anyway?)
You've been around
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
(Hey, what's your name?)
Hey, what's your name?
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
if you know what I mean
the sound of those old machines
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
retired now?
I think I read
somewhere how
you've written a book
or a film score
Amazing that you lot
come back for more
but you don't look too rough
and I still quite like
some of your early stuff
(Hey, what's your name

This seems to be about most of the people today: they go with the hype about any new act that appears, and then ignore mostly anything that exists for more that 10 years. So the lyrics are words of a person who only knows "the early stuff" of an artist and never bothers to check out anything that was created later in their career, so the person takes it for granted that anything he/she hasn't heard of does not exist, or at least is not noteworthy.
(Just search in Wikipedia the discography of practically any artist and you will see that the sales of their albums after 10 years of existence get much lower; for example Pet Shop Boys had an incredible album "Fundamental" in 2006, but 99% of the people never tried to listen to it, they prefer anything that is new.)
