AS SOON AS I HIT THE MOTORWAY I'M HAPPY

as soon as I hit the motorway

As soon as I hit the motorway I'm happy
He says

As long as the right song comes on

In his dreams he's always driving home
Full of sadness and regret
He says I wish I could have more fun

So I could feel guilty

About all the things I've done

In his dreams he's always driving home
Full of sadness and regret
He says I wish I could have more fun

So I could feel guilty

About all the things I've done

Hey kid where'd you get your attitude
Were you born with it
Where did you see it
Did you cut it and paste it
Did you copy
Did you steal it
Do you mind if I try it

On this island I'd be lucky
Just to find a friend

Wasting time is always at the weekend
Sun was shining all through the weekday
When I wake up
I wake up a little more than the day before

Wasted times - always at the weekend

Soon as I hit the motorway I'm happy he says

In his dreams he's always driving home
Always running
Always escaping

Until silence finds him

And works its way inside

Don't make me feel guilty

For things I haven't tried

Hey kid where'd you get your attitudeWere you born with itWhere did you see itDid you cut it and paste itDid you copyDid you steal itDo you mind if I try it

She says
On this island I'd be lucky
Just to find a friend

So I keep driving
To Land's End and back again

Excuse me have I got the wrong trainers on
Have I got the wrong skirt on
Do I have the wrong T-shirt and coat and hat and shades
Is that the wrong CD I just put on

Is that the wrong magazine

On my living room floor

Am I at the back of the queue

Till I become you

Wasting time is always at the weekend
Sun was shining all through my weekday
When I wake up
I wake up a little more
Than the day before

Wasted time - always at the weekend
Sun was shining all through my weekday

Saw a total eclipse of the sun
And now I'll never see a better one

Wasted time is always at the weekend.

Wasted time - always at the weekend.
