lyrics

Jesus Christ
I’m either hot for leather or cold as ice
This battery just can’t take any more

Life’s a merry-go-round
Some of the passengers are buried in the ground
So put the pedal to the floor

I’m just trying to make it to the next junction
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Cos I’m having a little malfunction
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)

I’ve got my hands upon the wheel
Going so slow I can’t keep track of how I feel
But you are the model I am sure

I’m just trying to make it to the next junction
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Cos I’m having a little malfunction
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Yeah I’ve got car trouble
(Je conduis)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Yeah car trouble
(Je conduis)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)

Somebody that I’ve yet to find
To come and give me peace of mind
Another roadside tragedy of gruesome imagery
A person that I’ve yet to be
With no insurance policy
Let’s race until it gets too fast, to see
Yeah!

All my life
You’ve been too sentimental and kept me out of sight
Under the covers baby, but don’t think twice
Just press a button on the door
Yeah!

I’m just trying to make it to the next junction
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Cos I’m having a little malfunction
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Yeah I’ve got car trouble
(Je conduis)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Yeah car trouble
(Je conduis)
(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Ulysses Bath, UK

Praised in major publications from The Guardian to Shindig! and Classic Rock Magazine, Bath’s rock upstarts Ulysses deliver quirky pop delights and to-die-for big riffs with what is fast becoming Ulysses’ own distinct sound – a nether land between psych, glam and rock, guitar stroking and pop sheen. ... more
