Poddy Understands Me

about

ode to the humble but sadly obsolete iPod

lyrics

Often life is easy things just fall right into place
Other times you can’t help feel you’re not up with the pace
We all have those moments, yes I’ve had them too
But I got myself an Ipod
Now I don’t feel quite so blue

1.
Poddy Understands me, he knows me really well
He always aims to please, with me he never disagrees at least as far as I can tell
He’s just a little fellow, but his heart is really big
and when I need to interface, or find a little space, I know that Poddy still has twenty-seven gig

2.
Poddy Understanfs Me, He’d never do me wrong
His little screen lights up & asks me whom I’d like to listen to and what’s my favourite song
I take him on a picnic, and I take him on the train
and every night at 10 I tuck him into bed that’s when he likes to charge his little battery up again

BR
I just want to acknowledge, he’s the best bit of technology
that ever was invented in this world
He’s like a little person, and for better or for worsen
I will always keep his earplug cord uncurled

3.
Poddy understands me, he goes the extra mile
he always looks so happy when I turn him on, last night I swear I even saw him smile
you say he’s just an object - just a fashionable thing
but I’ve not had such compliance, from another new electrical appliance
I fear he has my heart upon a string

BRIDGE 2
So that’s the way things are now, he’s a member of my whanau
and I couldn’t do without him if I tried
and sometimes when I’m sleeping, if I hear his little beeping I get up and turn him over on his side

Poddy understands me
Poddy understands me
Poddy understands me
