about

There is something about car-adverts on TV that is deeply annoying... They have no relation to the real experience of driving. All advertising is fantasy; but car adverts are the pinnacle... or the pits.

lyrics

Drive

Feeling good and feeling fine
Feeling happy almost all the time
Got the sun on my back and a clear blue sky
Got to move and I don't know why

Wind in my hair I can't ask for more
Both hands on the wheel and one foot on the floor
The sky has never ever seen a cloud
Keep the sunglasses on and the radio loud

Nowhere to go but got to get there fast
Feeling real cool life is such a blast
There's nothing in front and there's no one behind
The road is all clear and its mine, mine, mine

Must have taken a wrong turn back there
It doesn't really matter I just don't care
Driving through the night it eventually dawns
None of this is real there's far too much corn

Where's the standing traffic? where's the contraflow?
Where are all those cones and the sign that says slow?
There's no roadworks and no traffic jams
Things are far too perfect this is advert land

I want to stay here I don't want to go back
This is the place and this is the life
Got to move got to keep moving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,eat my dust

Burning up fuel hour after hour
Nothing else for it but to use this power
On a journey without purpose and without end
Got to keep moving right round the bend

Feeling good and feeling fine
Feels like I've driven right out of my mind
Got the sun on my back and a clear blue sky
Got to move and I don't know why
