lyrics

I confess that I used to write songs. Dozens of songs about girls and cars. Oh yeah, girls and cars. “Oh yeah, girls and cars”: How stupendously stupid it all seems now. The automobile is a stupid machine. It’s driving us all to ruin, and we’ll be all out of gas when we get there. And girls: Girls are whatever they wanna turn out to be. They have no need of a bald old greybeard like me. And The Past is a blur of chicken scratch in a blank book with an orange cover, left in a bookbag in a downpour then chucked in a box - a banker’s box - in three different basements so far this century. It’s archived temporarily. Yeah, that’s The Past. Hell, I can barely remember where this song even began... Oh yeah, girls and cars. Oh yeah, girls and cars. I confess that I used to write songs. Dozens of songs about girls and cars. Oh yeah, girls and cars. “Oh yeah, girls and cars.”
