Title: In my car - lyrics
Post by: boboDS on January 30, 2011, 05:30:41 PM
Hi, does anybody have lyrics of this song? Maybe I'm just too blind to find them on the net, so I hope somebody will be able to help me.

Btw, Boston 79 (remastered) is great stuff.

Hi,
as this song has not officially been released but only had some rare live appearances, I am not sure if there are any "official" lyrics around. So you have
to look after some "amateurish" written words from listening.

I know and I thought that these lyrics had been posted on some fan site. But I didn't find anything.

Hey, Jana vom Bavaria,

Welcome, must have missed your first posts here.  :)

This is another reason for what a fan forum is good ... I was googling this afternoon and tried to help, but did not find it. Now I see that I know that site
and once had it even bookmarked.

Very much appreciated!

Hallo LE,

Thank you! :)
I've been with you since GL tour. Great forum!
About googling... it's just the thing with search criterion: ""in my car" text dire straits" were correct in this case.

See the world complaining
See my world go by
Well it's dissappearing
The world is changing fast
It's a blank career
But I don't have to care
Nobody there...
In my car running down the street
In my car but they carry me
In my car yeah in my car is me...
Hit the evening news now, I'm on my radio
Then I have confuse now
I have the stereo
I see a trouble spot
But I don't have a stop
Let it talk...
In my car...
What my car is to me
Till when I don't look back now
You know it ain't so lately go
My car is back
The traffic light is blinking
Left the stop light I go for a wheels
And there is no thinking now
I'm driving wheel
But I don't have to feel
Made out of steelIin my car...

I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar
I bought it in primrose hill from a bloke from brazil
It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the tyne
It says morris on the door, the g.p.o. owned it before
I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob
But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air

It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time
Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil
Just last week I changed the oil
Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock
I dented somebody's fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha

I've been driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far
I drive up to muswell hill, I've even been to selsey bill
I drove along the a45, I had her up to 58
This copper stopped me the other day, you're mistaken what could I say
The tyres were a little worn, they were o.k., I could have sworn
I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far

I like driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far
I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre
I like driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar
I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far

if you want to know, I had never heard of the song "in my car" and the one that came to mind when I saw this thread was the song I posted.
