My Body The Car Lyrics - Singles - Godley And Creme

(Chorus) 

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 

(Chorus) 

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!
