lyrics

I saw her every night in the garden
I saw her every day, and I wanted her to be mine
She drove a red MG, with shiny spokes and leather seats
She took it seriously that it should be kept well

Images of orange daiquiris and Ecstasy cocktails
Assembled in my head, I knew she liked them
Following her at too-high speed with crazy drinks between my ears
My eyes looking wide and red
The colour of the upholstery in her car

As that car pulled away from me
She didn’t want to be seen next to me
That car pulled away from me
She didn’t want to be seen through anybody’s tinted windscreen

Blistening thrusts of rubber ‘neath her feet
Salutary lessons of life in fast lanes
Conspired to pull my confidence down
To think I really thought a slow saloon could ever match the pace of such a fine machine
Unattainable beauty was all I could see
