Lyrics:
Beck: Alright, continuing with the covers, this is an old Daniel Johnston song. Do you play his music?

KCRW DJ: Not that much... I know who he is and we've got some records. He doesn't get played that much on the radio anywhere. Probably a little bit here.

Beck: Yeah, this is a song I always loved. It's called "Some Things Last A Long Time."


Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever
Red is strong and blue is pure
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time

It's funny, but it's true
And it's true, but it's not funny
Time comes and goes
All of the while, I still think about you
Some things last a long time

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
I think about you often, often
I won't forget all the things we did
Some things last a long time
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a long time
Some things last a lifetime
