Godley & Creme - My Body The Car lyrics

My body is the car that I've been driving Around for thirty six years My body the car Slowly burning out the rubber and stripping the gears My body the car Remember the time when a cigarette burned a hole in my skin There was nobody in To put out the fire Lost in a skid on a rumbling road Where the C.B. kids all mumble in code You're a liar, you're a liar And if the telephone rings It will be my doctor Telling me to cool it - oh yeah I don't want no x-rays or any brand new drug you've never tried I don't want no hoorays dressed up as doctors poking around inside Ooh to him I'll always be a motor car My body the car There's a man with a suitcase With a whole bunch of shirts and magazines Selling roadmaps and bibles and benzadrines For the days and the nights I stare at the mirror And the days and the nights They stare back at me My body the car Is a little older My body the car Still looking good My body the car I need a hard shoulder My body the car To look under the hood My body the car Still ticking over My body the car I don't know why it should My body the car She's leaking oil My body the car The colour of blood My body the car My body the car My body the car My body the car My body the car She drives me crazy My body the car When she rattles and shakes My body the car She makes me nervous My body the car She ain't got no brakes My body the car My body the car My body the car Crash!
