Shiny Gold Car

You suck in every story you're fed

The circus elephant is proudly led around

You gotta hear this boy, he rode a freight

Train east to west, his pain is real

So who were these famous people in your house when you were young?

And didn't you play the squaw party scene, the illegal underground?

Yes, that can be our angle, you can be the hobo of the scene

Oh no, well I've got to climb out of this machine

Oh no, well I've got to climb out of this machine

I might start lying, writing songs I do not mean

Trying to fit a scene, stop the cogs turning

I've got to climb out of this machine

Climb into my shiny gold car

I'll take you to the studio and make you a star

I'm not saying that you're not beautiful

But have you thought about a different nose?

I want you to meet this lawyer friend of mine

He's just in the bathroom doing another line

Look we were thinking, you could say you're five years younger

Is that fine? Yeah fine, yeah fine, yeah

Oh no, well I've got to climb out of this machine

Oh help me, I've got to climb out of this machine

I'm lying, you see, I'm writing songs I do not mean

Trying to fit a scene, stop the cogs turning

I said I've got to climb out of this machine

So yes, I'm gonna climb out of this machine

Just watch me, I'm gonna climb out of this machine

No more lying, I'll only write songs I mean from now on

You can stop right here, pull over

I've got to climb out of this shiny gold

This shiny, shiny, shiny

This shiny gold, gold, gold car

But before I leave this impossible machine

I might as well write some lyrics I really mean

So here we go, here we go

I don't want ten more nuclear power stations

On this island, this very small island

I said I don't want ten more nuclear power stations

On this island, this very small island

I don't want ten more nuclear power stations

On this island, this very small island

I don't want ten more nuclear power stations

On this island, this very small island

I don't want ten more nuclear power stations

On this island, this very small island

I don't want ten more nuclear power stations
