about

In a big country, just jumping in the conveyance and hitting the road is one of the great indulgences of the age of the motor car. This is an ode to that time-honoured treatment for the blues, driving for the sake of it. The purr of the motor, being at one with gear stick as you throttle down into a corner and power out; the mesmeric white line; the illusion of endlessness as the dawn sky pales ...

lyrics

HARD DRIVE

I'm in stereo, I swing into view
Scan the radio, I'm feeling so blue
Road white mono-line, twisting around
Way past party-time, I'm feeling so down

Drive to the end of the darkness
Drive till the dawn shows grey
Drive till the sky grows brighter
Drive into a blue, new day

I'm in stereo, a type you would know
Caught on video, a ticket for the show
Drive to nowhere now, follow the nose
East, west, north or south, wherever the road goes

Drive till the blues lose their power
Drive till the sun shows its head
Driving for hour after hour
Drive till those blues have been shed

Dri-ive, dri-ive
Drive to the end, of the road, of the night
Drive till those blues, your blues are out of sight

I'm in stereo, split left and right
Take the middle road, keep your line tight
Corner, drop a gear, flat to the floor
The end is nowhere near, the road goes on for evermore

Drive to the end of the highway
Drive on those minor back-roads
Drive to the edge of the new day
Drive till your darkness has flown
Drive till the morning shows grey
Drive into a blue, new day
Drive into a blue, new day
