Three Wheeled Car lyrics by The Catenary Wires
We will never leave this place
Looking out from the Tyne or the Point of the Lizard
Understatement’s to our taste
When we say ‘that is fine’ we mean ‘please reconsider’
Deep down we’re as English as the weather
Out in t-shirts in the sun or a blizzard
That is why we’re going to stay for ever. Albion calls…
We will drive out to the coast
In our three-wheeled car
Park close to the cliff edge
We will gaze out to the sea
We’ll conjure up old enemies
And feel safe and warm
Do you know your history?
Yeh, from Boudica up to the Grantham shop-owner
It’s part of you it’s part of me
Misremember the past, it’s our national persona
Don’t you feel your spirits lift in this landscape?
Lent by a handful of noble land-owners
That is why we’ll never make an escape. Albion calls…
We will drive out to the coast
In our three-wheeled car
Park close to the cliff edge
We will feel anaesthetised
As the motor whines
Petrol sighs dim your mind
La la la la la la English lovers…
Do what duty calls them to do
Say they feel alright
As they seal the doors up tight
English lovers
