gash & ail - broken truck blues lyrics
[verse 1]
when i first met you, you weren’t so blue
it was hidden underneath till i started lovin’ you
you’d been neglected and damaged too
all my heart desires was to make yours feel brand new
that big old forehead, that sharp cut nose
that slightly wonky face made me dizzy to my toes
i maxed out all my cards and overdrafts, we hit the road
life was really so much sweeter than i’d ever known
[chorus]
you were always hard to handle but, i didn’t mind
you kept me safe and warm, you were still my favourite find
but your blowing hot and cold, it soon started to grind
and then came the day i had to leave you behind
there was really nothing else that i could do
i got the broken truck blues
[verse 2]
i couldn’t look, tears in my eyes as you mounted someone else’s beaver
it happened so many times i thought that i should probably leave ya
lovin’ you has kept me poor, but i’m like some loyal retriever
you showed me all your vital signs were fine, and i believed ya
off we went up mountains, into forests, and slept by the sea
it felt again like we were the perfect clichéd meant to be
man, you knocked me sideways, quite literally
but miraculously we ended up back on our wheels and feet
[chorus]
you were always hard to handle but, i didn’t mind
you kept me safe and warm, you were still my favourite find
but your blowing hot and cold, it soon started to grind
and then came the day i had to leave you behind
there was really nothing else that i could do
i got the broken truck blues
[verse 3]
indicators, alternator, battery, reversing light
anti#roll bar, shock absorbers, wonky head, wonky headlight
fuel pump, reconned fuel tank, steam clean, water pump, coolant leaks
temperature gauge, timing belt, fuses, paint job, passenger seat
throttle cable, speedo cable, head gasket, thermostat
radiator, steering rack, temperature [?], the hole in the back
wing mirror, window wiper, fan relays, fan belt, door locks
everything on you is on new, except for the clutch and gear box
fingers cost
[chorus]
you’ll always be hard to handle but, i don’t care
you keep me safe and warm, you’re still my favourite, let’s go somewhere
here’s hoping for now, at least, we’re all done with repairs
and i won’t have to b#gg#r off and leave you anywhere
there’s really nothing else that i can do
but fix you when you break, there’s too much at stake
there’s really nothing else that i can do
when i got the broken truck blues, ooh
and i’ve got the broken truck blues
[spoken]
no welding, though! (yet)
