lirik lagu peter blegvad and andy partridge - what a car you are

what never failed to induce a state of trance~like calm as a child was
being driven around at night in my father’s car, a big green lasalle
saloon. swaddled and belted into the back seat, lulled by the drone of
internal combustion, soothed by the rhythmic ﬂashes of the passing
lights. i dreamed that the car and i were one, that my body did not end
where it met the seat, but extended out into the streamlined steel
forward into the illuminated snout probing the night, and down to
where the whirling rubber met the road
you’ve been gone so long
but now you’re almost home
you were cold but now you’re getting warm
lucas lamps in lids of chrome
light up in your head
light the way ahead
on the fast track back from the land of the dead
what a car you are
what were once your hands and feet
are now four wheels —
and where road and rubber meet
it feels so sweet
hear that hypnotizing hum?
now that you’re in gear
now you’re getting near
you’ve come so far
what a car you are
motor running sweet as a nut
motorvatin’ down the open road
there’s no other traffic
hush now, listen to what the engine said:
bookofthedeadbookofthedeadbookofthedead…
oh man, what a car you are!
hercules has lent you his strength
edward prince of wales enjoys his run in you so much
that he declares the motorcar a necessity
for every english gentleman
humming past the orchard at night
sleeping ﬂowers in your beams unfurl
thinking you’re the sun
you leap the chasm like an antlered stag!
and to think you were once derelict in a dusty barn
on a tobacco farm in new south wales
what a star!
garlanded with tributes
hung with golden gongs
you’re a hero to the nation
adored by all creation
honk your h~rn, you’re coming home
what a one you are
what a wonder
what a car!
