Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What a cheek
Undertaking anyone at 70
What a laugh
Splashing through the gravel as you barrel past
Saints above
Hopping on the poppers of your driving glove, glove
Jelly bean
Air freshener swinging in your window screen
[Verse 2]
Speaker phone
Speaking very, very loudly on your speaker phone
What a day
Everything is lovely on the motorway
And I, I was hoping for a change of heart
I, I was looking for a little direction
[Verse 3]
Sunlight splashes off a bonnet on the M5
No one else is on it
It's an open wide motorway
Sunlight splashes off a bonnet on the M5
No one else is on it
It's an open wide motorway
[Verse 4]
Cruise control
Spend the extra money on your cruise control
What a treat
Stretching in your butter leather bucket seats
I, I was hoping for a change of heart
I, I was looking for a little direction
[Verse 5]
Sunlight splashes off a bonnet on the M5
No one else is on it
It's an open wide motorway
Sunlight splashes off a bonnet on the M5
No one else is on it
It's an open wide motorway
[Verse 6]
He's on for a personal best
When, somewhere outside
Aldershot
He notices a mini-roundabout
Then his steering goes light
And as he slows beyond the central reservation
Going up and up and up
He sees his shoelaces are undone
It's funny the things you notice
[Verse 7]
Sunlight splashes off a bonnet on the M5
No one else is on it
It's an open wide motorway
