Pen Pals 5: Flea Market is a collaboration between Don Campau and several international musicians. It is the last in a series begun in 1988.
These musicians provided backing tracks to which Don added lyrics, vocals and instruments.My thanks to all.
lyrics
i lost my job, the car got wrecked, my money’s gone, but it’s only stuff,i collected things, and i had much pride, when my time runs out, its only stuff, when the clock is ticking and my time is up, when i stand wishing i was good enough, but i am, i’ve had good luck and i’ve chosen well, so many that i’ve known but its only stuff, when the genie shows up and i make a wish it’s only a gypsy wind that’s blowing, all these records and these tapes, all the work that was involved, it’s divided in the end, it’s only stuff, cause it’s only stuff, i collected things and i held them close, but they’re faded now, but it’s only stuff, it’s only stuff that reminds me
