EURO TRIP

That time, that time, oh, ages ago
No Cloud, no Wi-Fi, where did all that go?
My PC, a beige tank, heavy as a brick
You lugged it along, with sweat, and feeling sick
'Round your neck, 'cause your Mum said: "Be careful, son!"
With a CRT monitor, I don't know how it was done
Up the stairs, fourth floor flat, there's no lift, see
But gaming called, and I was quick as a flea!
Sharpie on my arm: "12:00 at Dave's, Quake III Arena!"

Old-school LAN party, the massive carrier bag filled
With kilos of plastic, the back quickly chilled.
Ethernet cables, of blue, yellow, and green
Router, Hub, switch, a proper technical scene!
We'd have a few drinks, have a rave, side-by-side
With the speakers blaring, no wireless, just the vibe!
Now it's simple, click, connected, all done
But that bulky kit, mate, that's when it was proper fun!
We're LAN Fossils, yeah, old-skool and well past it
But our gaming spirit, still screams, "Have at it!"

The set-up, that was half of the bloody game
"Has everyone got their IP set right, all the same?"
Network card slotted, the latest from 3Com
Installing drivers, you hear that bleep, bloop, BOMB
Mouse and keyboard, attached by a wire, long and grey
And the Riva TNT or a Voodoo, that was the way.
The heat in the bedroom, the aroma of crisps and sheer graft
The sound of the Hub fan, the proper working class craft!
And then: "SERVER FOUND!", the magical cheer
The disconnect was gutting, but the good times were clear!

Old-school LAN party, the massive carrier bag filled

With the speakers blaring, no wireless, just the vibe!

But that bulky kit, mate, that's when it was proper fun!
We're LAN Fossils, yeah, old-skool and well past it
But our gaming spirit, still screams, "Have at it!"

"What's that interference?!" - Someone's knocked the cable out!
Ping: 999 - Everyone swearing, what's it about, shout!
But a quick reboot all 'round, and the adrenaline rushes in
'Cause you're next to your mate, you see how he can't win!
No headset, you hear their pure frustration live
That was the bonding, the real multiplayer drive!
(Back then, the gaming experience was far more physical.)

Carrier bag... cables... game on... (Whispering)
Yeah, we're LAN Fossils... and we're dead proud of it!
