barcelona - buying records won't make me feel better lyrics

i’ve been upset here, been under the weather
i went to princeton on a trip to buy some records
i thought the hummingbirds might put things in perspective
but buying records won’t help put me back together

i went to princeton, packed up in my sweater
i hid away in stacks and rows of vinyl records
i thought the thompson twins might help me find the answer
but record+buying won’t make me feel better faster
