D19 - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Sometimes you need that memory sound

To get your music off the ground

It's something that you could have known

Dynamic microphone you know

I was just nineteen

When I met my D19

So old but new to me

Can't wait to see what's gonna be

I know my friends used to like you a lot and

I figured I'd better give it a shot

But I was shot down, didn't work out

The right sound didn't come out

D19 could have been my queen

Prettiest mic I'd ever seen

She would've made everything sound so serene

She's my D19

Plugged in, somethings wrong

Then I heard your bass response was gone

Roll off didn't roll a thing

Couldn't really hear me sing

I'll send her back home to England now

Maybe someone there can fix her maybe they know how, I feel

Stupid like I wasted my time

But a D19 could have been so fine

D19 could have been my queen

Someday I'm gonna find one that's really clean

I would have used it for the drums with my recording machine

She's my D19

D19 should have been my queen

She was the prettiest microphone I'd ever seen

And when they used it on the Beatles it sounded so mean

She's my D19

She's my D19, yeah

She's my D19
