Well, here I was, sitting down on a Sunday afternoon, alternately contemplating
the concept of man's inhumanity to man, and picking lint out of my
navel, when I had a sudden inspiration. So here it is folks, to the tune
of "Hotel California "
Surfing info highways,
numb ass in my chair
A deep sense of frustration,
rising up through the air
My modem can't go the distance
Downloading those megabytes
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
Damn thing takes half the night
Mother stood in the doorway
with the last bill from Bell
And I was thinking to myself, this should be heaven
but this is like hell
Felt like trashing the modem
it is crap anyway
Mother called out from the corridor
and I heard her say...
Chorus :
You really should get a new modem from Amati
Such a lovely place, and they set the pace
Goodbye to your bandwidth problems with Amati
Analog's old hat, ISDN's crap
My modem's definitely past it
it ain't no Mercedes Benz
Takes hours to download the simplest stuff,
drives me round the bend
How I hate my computer
deep angry sweat
A pentium processor
but I can't surf the net
So I called up my telco
Please lay fiber lines
And they said, we won't have that laid into your neighbourhood till,
twenty twenty nine
And still those voices were calling
from in my head
Woke me up in the middle of the night
and this is what they said
Chorus :
Your broker told you, "get a few shares in Amati"
At the last year's price, was looking really nice
You should have got in when you could have in Amati
Back in `96, before their 3 stock splits
Fed up of the waiting, black rings round my eyes
and I think, I am just a prisoner here, of this damn device
Then I picked up my modem and I looked at the beast
Stabbed it with some kitchen knives and then I stomped it with my feet
Last thing I remember, I was running for the store
I had to find a better way to give my PC something more
Relax said Amati, we have the modems that you need
You can download anything you like, even movie VOD !!!
