Vocal jazz prompt: Tempo: 118-128 BPM medium swing with brief 4-bar rubato asides. Key: D Mixolydian with bluesy chromatic passing tones, shifting to harmonic minor for the bridge. Instruments: Upright woody walking bass, jazz drum kit with brushes (switching to mallets for the bridge), 9-foot open grand piano, Harmon-muted trumpet trading 4s with reedy clarinet, hollow-body archtop jazz guitar with flatwounds comping softly. Female vocal: honey-smoky, conversational phrasing, half-spoken asides, one short Ella-style scat break. Structure: ABAC with a 12-bar blues tag ending. Emotional palette: dry deadpan wit, quiet longing, whimsical absurdity, warm conspiratorial intimacy, world-weary softness, playful flirtation, gentle melancholia. Lyrics theme: A quirky used-record-store clerk ruminating on her unspoken crush on the regular who only buys obscure 1950s bossa nova imports, talking to half-stocked LP bins like they’re her confidants, scattered with references to scratchy vinyl, dusty album art, and missed small-talk chances.

[Intro] [Verse] The needle drops, the static sings I’m sorting through these plastic things The dust is thick, the light is dim I’m waiting for a glimpse of him He’s got a taste for Rio nights And neon lights He walks past Rock, he skips the Blues He’s got some better things to choose [Pre-Chorus] (Spoken: He only ever looks at the imports...) He flips the sleeve of ‘58 I try to play it cool and wait A rare Gilberto, mint and clean The finest wax I’ve ever seen I want to say "That’s quite a find" But words just tangle in my mind He checks the groove for deep debris He never checks the groove in me [Chorus] I tell the bins my secret heart They’ve seen the world fall right apart The jazz piano knows the score It’s heard it all a thousand times before I’m whispering to the Bossa shelf I’m talking mostly to myself He brings the record to the glass I watch the golden moment pass [Bridge] The shadows stretch across the floor The bell rings out beside the door I’m lost inside a minor key Where everything is "used" like me (Spoken: Or maybe just "vintage"?) I’m spinning round a hollow core I couldn't ask for any more Than just to be a liner note Inside that heavy winter coat A melody he’d want to keep Before he goes to sleep [Solo] Shoo-be-doo-ba Zat-da-dat-da-dee-da-dow Ba-poy-yo-da-shoom-ba Skid-da-le-da-mop [Post-Chorus] The shop is closed, the lights are low I’ve got no other place to go The import’s gone, he’s out of sight Another quiet Tuesday night Just me and all these dusty dreams It’s never simple as it seems I’m just a girl on a shopping spree Who didn't notice the scratch on side B [Outro]
