When I'm driving in my car, I don't care about any thing
When I'm speeding in my car, I don't care about anyone
Man and machine, machine and man
We're always together they can't understand
Give anything for her velvet seats
Do anything just to hear her squeal
Man and machine, machine and man
We're always together they can't understand
My foot's on the pedal, such a crazy thing
I'm never gonna stop loving this machine
Wheels are rolling with a rockabye motion
And I love my car
Sirens screaming throught the city speeding
But I'll never stop
Go through girls like I do through fines
But I'll never leave my car
My car and me such a crazy thing and I'm...
When I'm driving in my car, I don't care about any thing
When I'm speeding in my car, I don't care about anyone
Judge on the bench made clear his demands
We're gonna have to have your license young man
Listen judge, don't you have a heart
I ain't a criminal, just in love with a car
Now I'm back on the streets behind the wheel
The papaer's gone but I still got the feel
A life of danger, life of speedm life of trouble for my
car and me.

WEATHERED STATUES

Weathered statues, tin soldiers that march in our parks
Wrapped in yellowed newsprint, on their benches in the dark
Faces fill with sadness, sorrow drawn from your nights
Surviving on old glories but now the glory's have died
Lonely men who are tortured, once proud but now forgotten
Gnarled hands hold canes, where guns were once before
Taunted by the children whose parent's lives he saved
Forgotten by a state, whose leg in war he gave
Silver gleams upon his chest, though sweat gleams on his brow
Darker days and sable nights, who work upon his soul
His honor flew away from him, like pigeons on the wind
Spending his last pennies on cheap wine and sins
But still they make the soldiers
And soldiers still grow old
Another day, another statue, falls out in the dawn
Weathered Statues stil march on and on

THOUGHTS OF YESTERDAY

I hear them walking down the corridor,
Footsteps in the halls of time
Faintly I see their faces,
On the back roads of my mind
Words in the darkness are always there,
Raping me with their thoughtlessness
Dreams I can't clear from my head,
I feel them calling to me
Naked night dance shadows on my window,
I lay alone with a memory
All my friends have died or gone away,
I live my life for thoughts of yesterday
Away from the feeling I have in my head,
If I ccould take back all the things I've said
I watch them playing from the twilight of my years
Watching, waiting silent there,
Children running as were my tears
I look back and......

WORD IS

I used to love her a long time ago
When things were fine now that's not so
So I'm searching through dark clouds for silver linings
I'm always searching but never finding
Look to my eyes, tell me what you see
I'm empty inside but a small part of me
It's listening to rumours and believing lies
That parts always searching but it's never finding
Now I've met another and she's just the same
She fools around and she plays her games
I'm so tired of losing the games she is playing
So tired of losing but my heart keeps on playing
She says she loves me but my friends say she don't
I'm so confused don't know which way to go
So I'm back to the dark clouds looking for silver linings
I'm always searching but never finding
I used to love her a long time ago
When things were fine, but now that's not so
So I'm searching through dark clouds for silver linings
I'm always searching but never finding
Look to my eyes, tell me what you see
I'm empty inside but a small part of me
It's listening to rumours and believing lies
That parts always searching but it's never finding
