Museum Piece - Graham Parker

Gather dust, an undercrust in cleveland

Everybody bows down to them

No one looks and says «hey, screw them

Who cares what they did?

let’s kill a new band»

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

Please don’t let me be a museum piece

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

I don’t think there’s any chance of that

John prine sings outside the door but

People going in ignore him

Ahmet forgot that he’d ever signed him

Lowell george was out of luck

He’s much too good to be inducted

Sam the sham with one hit doesn’t make it either

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

Please don’t let me be a museum piece

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

I don’t think there’s any chance of that

An inch of dust lies on my shoulders

In my head’s a touch of mould and

Half my foot has crumbled in my shoe

No one ever visits this wing

It’s just like the cut-out bin

Little milton ended up here too

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

Please don’t let me be a museum piece

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

I don’t think there’s any chance of that

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

Please don’t let me be a museum piece

Well I don’t wanna be a museum piece

I don’t think there’s any chance of that
