Will Someone Turn This Car Around

Will someone turn this car around
The driver must be drunk
The scenery is blurred outside
The spirits have been sunk

I don't know where we're going
I forget from where we came
Will someone turn this car around
I wish I took the train

A hairpin bend is on the map
And I'm too damn scared to look back
My knuckles almost white as to the bone
We're running on an empty tank
The conversation's dead and blank
We reap the harvest of regrets we've sown
Will someone turn this car around
I want to go home

Will someone turn this car around
It's all going to fast
There's still so much left to do
I need to make it last

I photograph my memories
To play tricks on my mind
Will someone turn this car around
I can't see the road signs

A hairpin bend is on the map
And I'm too damn scared to look back
My knuckles almost white as to the bone
We're running on an empty tank
The conversation's dead and blank
We reap the harvest of regrets we've sown
Will someone turn this car around
I want to go home

A three-point turn is what I need
So that I can breathe...

Ian Adamson recommends:

Romanticism
by The Ludvico Treatment

Anglo-Canadian post-shoegaze, but in a really really good way. Listen to it in one sitting for the full mind-blowing effect. Ian Adamson

This Gaunt Story
by Gaunt Story

Beautiful acoustic finger-picked folky stuff, similar in tone & musical presence to Elliott Smith's more lo-fi earlier stuff. Ian Adamson
go to album
European Monsoon
by Pagan Wanderer Lu

Poptastic indietronica that will make you dance and think at the very same time. Essential listening if you have functioning ears. Ian Adamson
