23 (things that I used to do)

Oh 23
What have you done to me
From the moment that I started
I knew she’ll be leaving me…

I started with this program
The name was 23
I read about all the things
They ‘re gonna mess around with me
My first steps in the blogosphere;
I registered as ‘eck’
My love felt that the end was near,
She’s never coming back

(chorus)

So I got to number 4 and 5
Everything about feeds,
Deeper into 2-0h-life,
Not thinkin’ ‘bout her needs
Next I shot some pictures
Of every girl I know
I put them all on flickr
And she said: I’ll have to go…

(chorus)

The pictures were online
And it was time to play
The tombstone for my ZEN looked fine
(I’m sorry he passed away..)
The news was spreading fast
And it did not take too long
My newborn ZEN, one of the best,
Playing my music, song by song
 
(chorus)

I continued with my vision
On what the web would do,
Got my personal muesli
And lots of sad songs on yahoo
Although it seemed del.icio.us
And social at that time:
When I told her ‘bout my bookmarks
She didn’t give a damn

(chorus)

I jumped into the sandbox
Played around without my shoes,
Followed by google apps and docs
I really got the blues
Then online contacts came alive
‘cause Meebo came along
Chat and talk, msn and hyves,
But our love was not that strong…

(chorus)

I arrived at thing 15
The search for music took all night..
Went to bed at 5.15
With no one by my side
So I started to sing and play,
Wanted the world to know
That my girl has gone away…
It turned into a one man show..

(chorus)

She took all the books;
The only ones that were left
Were those on LibraryThing:
Man, it felt like theft!
My friends on hyves and facebook
Keep tellin’ me to stay in touch,
But now that she’s gone I keep cryin’…
Offline! Thank you very much!

(chorus)

From the moment that I started
I knew she’ll be leaving me…
