Lyrics Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg

From A Vauxhall Velox

She said "Do these seats fold down"

I said "If you pull that handle"

All the time she'd been waiting for

Something with a little more

And all her mates on the new estates

Were walking out in confetti and sunshine

Her mother read her mail

And her Dad was a Policeman

Which I must say worried me

But some things have just got to be

So we passed very fast like ships in the night

Or cars in a contraflow system

Some people say love is blind

But I think that's just a bit short-sighted

Some people just want it now

It doesn't matter where or how

Satisfaction takes a second place

So long as they can get excited
