Graham Parker - Crawlin From The Wreckage lyrics

rate me

Got out really early from the factory

Drivin' like a nut in the rain

Don't think I was acting so hysterically

But I didn't see a thing until it came

Met the dumb suburbs in the takeaway

Beating up the chinee at the counter

I put a few inside me at the end of the day

I took out my revenge on the revolution counter

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

And into a brand new car

Well, in walks bud with his exploding nose

He'd been givin' it maximum today

Shouted how the devil you in trouble I suppose?

But all you ever do is run away

Gunned up the motor into hyper drive

I didn't want to take any of that

Don't get bright ideas about suicide

'Cos all I ever hear is zoom bang bang bang

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

Bits of me are scattered in the trees and on the hedges

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

And into a brand new car

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage yeah

Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before

I see it all through flashes of depression

Drop my drink and hit some people running for the door

I gotta make some kind of impression

'Cos when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel

I'm only half the man that I should be

Metal hitting metal is all I feel

As everything's as good as it possibly could be

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

And into a brand new car, into a brand new car

Well crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin' from the wreckage
