Lyrics The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy

Absolutely Obsolete

You used to tell me that you loved me, but now I know

You have been trying to get rid of me from the word go

I wasn't so surprised to know an app could do my job

You'll find me in the bargain bin at the Oxfam shop

I'm…

Absolutely obsolete

Please shut the door and take a seat

We're sad to say that you're completely

Absolutely obsolete - absolutely obsolete

We know that you'll land on your feet

Clear out your desk and leave discreetly

Absolutely obsolete

I always thought we had a funny relationship

I would do the work that made the money, and you'd spend it

And though I know I was a lowly cog in your machine

You said that I was still a vital member of your team

I'm…

Absolutely obsolete

Please shut the door and take a seat

We're sad to say that you're completely

Absolutely obsolete - absolutely obsolete

We know that you'll land on your feet

Clear out your desk and leave discreetly

Absolutely obsolete

If I could only turn the clock back to a better time

When the world was black and white

And we all had roles to play

Now it's all just shades of grey

I'm obsolete…
