I pull up to the stop street, fingers tapping to the beat Smile and point at the Big Issue on my passenger seat A couple months out of date, but it's still working great "Why fix what isn't broken?", as the old proverb states Which I guess I should relate to my rusty garden gate A couple hinges short of swinging with the fence that it truncates I wince, turn my thoughts to matters of great import Drop the handbrake to the floor and ease my car across the tar Eyes ajar, mind far, far away Just enough grey matter to move my body through the day I sway to the breeze and fluttering oak leaves Trapped against my engine fan, leading to this driver's tan From just above my elbow down to my right hand Digits fly in the wind tunnel, to the rythms of my favourite bands That pan left and right in the headphones Because the radio's long gone, boosted right outside of Stones Because, you can't believe all the things that you read It's time to wake up If you struggle up the stairs when the lift's down for repairs It's time to shape up If you are lying to yourself about the feelings that you felt It's time to break up When you're cruising 'round the bend with the revs up in the red It's time to change up You can change to Mainstay with the ship and the wave I'd rather stay as I am, my liver's turning to jam Traffic slams, a snarling beast in the February heat I turn the volume up in an attempt to compete with the Minibus taxi carving new lanes through the street Zigging and zagging as if the driver's three sheets to the wind On Skokiaan, battery acid works a charm The constable can only watch and make adjustments to his crotch For behind the Ray-Ban lies a complicated man Though his methods may be crude, they're all part of the grand plan Mediterranean moustache a reliable indicator That his mood swings more violently than a South-American dictator Catch you later, I slide through a gap in your smile If you want to get home, you've got to be in the zone Where time slows and we're all pros surrounded by average Joes My foot sinks to the floor, 1300 can still roar Because, you can't believe all the things that you read It's time to wake up If you struggle up the stairs when the lift's down for repairs It's time to shape up If you are lying to yourself about the feelings that you felt It's time to break up When you're cruising 'round the bend with the revs up in the red It's time to change up Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you Got to got to change change Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up, change up, you know you gotta Change up
