Lyrics
all the boys are loving all the girls, who screen the sun, can't stand the rain, moving under not over time, the sun will shine on, red rust wreck is off his mind, down on the highway there to die, got a toyota of another kind, god built these hands to drive, plastic bag woman must wait, while nylon men walk out in space, africa will turn to dust, in la la land we give out trust, we'll set the place on fire, and watch the memories fry, go someplace don't recognise, you can't lose if you don't try, ain't gonna slave for a cadillac, turn my back, burn the place to ash, i can't speak so i don't mime, i won't seek so i won't find, who needs the pyramids, we got a photograph, down on the left hand side, you can see mum and dad, pull down the monuments, and send a postcard back, for nineteen ninety five, i will have the starter pack, my m16 was in my prayers:-, 'how is the world now i ain't there?, are they wearing flowers in their hair?', the rich kids school while i am here, we'll set the place on fire, and watch the memories fry, go someplace don't recognise, you can't lose if you don't try, ain't gonna slave for a cadillac, turn my back, burn the place to ash, i can't speak so i don't mime, i won't seek so i won't find, this map shows where to start, move across the grid and down, when the lines are far apart, you will find you're out of town, at ninety miles an hour, insects crash into the screen, the rear view mirror blurs, home is just a memory, aeroplanes fall from the skies, liferafts sinking in the night, it stops if i close my eyes, memories will hold me tight, memories will hold me tight, memories will hold me tight
