SONG: Shadows on a Dime
ARTIST: Ferron
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
This window makes a perfect frame
For New England leaves like painted rain
They hold me as I hold this train
All shadows on a dime.
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
This window opened to a crack
frames New England leaves on the tarmac
They hold me as I traverse this track
All shadows on a greenback.

| * Payphones used to take dimes, but now they take quarters. Isn't
it time to update song lyrics to reflect the realities of
inflation? Alas, it's vastly easier to rhyme the word "dime" than
the word "quarter," but here at Inflationary Lyrics Headquarters we
have risen to the challenge. Please join the fun and share your
own inflationary lyrics, with both the "before" and "after" versions! |
