Good looking driver seeks sharp bend and Hillman Imp for accident-prone time travel ...

lyrics

GOD GAVE US LEMONS AND WE
MADE CITRUS QUEENS

In the beginning there was the Hillman Imp
God said: I need a driver, that idiot in the Swanndri, pick him.
So I got behind the wheel of my first automobile
and sped to Maungatap – u

When I got there, the princess was tending her wine
Her arms were threaded through a rotary clothes line
She said: Do you wanna pash or would you prefer the bash?
Make up your eff ’n mind!

Do do doo doo, Do doo doo doo doo,
Do do doo doo, Do do doo doo doo,
Doooo do, doooo do, doooo do doooo

I leaned forward to edge of my hopes and dreams
Th e princess roared: My god, those flares on your jeans!
I said: they were handed down to me at the dawn of antiquity
at the place where my mother cleans.

I looked up and the sky was a measle of stars
Th e Milky Way had a dreadful rash up her arms
But we repaid her faith, by furthering the human race
on behalf of all mankind

Do do doo doo, Do doo doo doo doo,
Do do doo doo, Do do doo doo doo,
Doooo do, doooo do, doooo do doooo

I awoke bathed in a shower of sparks
We were upside down as they arced from the roof of the car
which was fl ipping on two wheels and skating across tarseal
like a gymnast in the dark

I said: Princess, our journey is at an end
Providence hath decreed this be our fi nal bend
My promise of A to B is no longer reality
Would you join me in A and E?

Do do doo doo, Do doo doo doo doo,
Do do doo doo, Do do doo doo doo,
Doooo do, doooo do, doooo do doooo
