Computer from ’69

Zur Melodie von "Summer of ’96" von Bryan Adams

Mareike Schmidtobreick gewidmet.

I got my first real own PC - got it from my aunty Cate
Her husband had no use for it - was my birthday of '98
Me and my brothers then - plugged it in and it starts to boot
Hard drive spins and LEDs were blinking - installed some games to run and shoot

Oh when I look at it - the computer seems to stick to me
But if I had the money - ya I'd order a new PC
This computer gets me on my nerves.

Ain't no use in complaining - when you gotta slow machine
Spent my free time here at the display - playing with Guy and Keen  - ya
Progress bars slowly filling - that told me that I'd wait forever
And when the loading ends - I got the antique gameing fever
Tetris was the best game I could play - oh year - on my computer from '98

Man we were killing foes
  we were jump-and-running - we needn't to upgrade
I guess this box I'll got forever... (forever...)

Since then the times were changin'
Look at what the others got and sold
Sometimes when I crash my old machine 
I think about it wonder will it hold?

Progress bars slowly fillin' - that told me that I'd wait forever
And when the loading ends - I got the antique gameing fever
Those were the best games I could play - on my computer from '98
