Elastica - Car Song Lyrics






You could call me a car lover
'Cause I love it in a motor
And the way it feels
To ride around on new wheels
I hardly know you
But I think I'm going to
Let's go siesta
In your Ford Fiesta

Here we go again
I'm riding in your car
Let me count to ten
'Cause it's gone way too far
Up my street to nowhere
You know what detours are
Here we go again
And it's gone way too far

Sometimes I just can't function
My heart's spaghetti junction
Every shining bonnet
Makes me think of my back on it
I just can't escape the feeling
That I'd rather be free-wheeling
In every little Honda
There may lurk a Peter Fonda... ooh...

Here we go again
I'm riding in your car
Let me count to ten
'Cause it's gone way too far
Up my street to nowhere
You know what detours are
Here we go again
And it's gone way too far

    17 May 2019. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Elastica and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily. And love, admiration and adoration.

  22. F.... ....

    Justine looks so good in this

  23. P.... H....

    That bassline... :-D

    P.... H....

    Yet the bassist is absent from the video... :(

  24. X.... F....

    This was so ahead of its time that you could put it in a sci-fi flick today, and it would be cutting edge.

    X.... F....

    Put it in Justice League and it would be the best part of the movie...

  25. V.... ....

    genius. the best. better than ezra.

  26. k.... ....

    4 female ghostbusters??? the feminist are taking over

    安心感あるB級映画感ほんとすこ

  28. I.... s....

    These guys were big in Seattle in the 90s, for apparent reasons---the girl riot thing was big in America at that time, I even bought this CD. The only song I knew of Blur was Song 2. Blur wasn't popular in America, but Oasis was.

    I.... s....

    Theme Park as an elastica fan from seattle, can confirm

    I.... s....

    The station The End played them a lot! Also from Seattle

  29. M.... P....

    I cant get over this
    -the outfits
    -the setting
    -the feeling
    -the sound
    -the everything

  30. s.... o....

    This reminds me of Akira????and Ghostbusters???

  31. S.... V....

    The 90's: when americans still thought english people were hip and happenin.

  32. D.... W....

    I'm in ma mums car, vroom vroom

  33. T.... E....

    Donna mattews looks beautiful as blonde

  34. M.... L....

    Justine should have stuck with architecture - this is RUBBISH!!!!!

    M.... L....

    This is just fine.go listen to nickelback loser.

  35. A.... H....

    this songs mix, arrangement, riffs and vocals wouldn't sound out of place on Blur's The Universal

  36. T.... P....

    Their best video!

  37. L.... M....

    This video is the Jackie Chan Asian racing team from 'Canonball Run 2' meets 'Ghostbusters'.

  38. R.... Y....

    Those "guns" were really old car-phone antennae long before the video was made. Dumpster diving for the win!

  39. H.... B....

    "Every shining bonnet, makes me think of my back on it"..wow what a line(for those uninitiated in Brit-speak, the bonnet is the hood of the car)

    H.... B....

    It cracks me up every single time I hear it.

  40. j.... ....

    It's quite evident that this Justine Frischmann is a dirty little girl. I think I like her a lot.

  41. D.... G....

    This song is about vehicles going vroom when Gwen Stefani's hollaback girl theme when it goes haunted.

    D.... G....

    yOUR CUTE SUBSCRIBE YOU :)

  42. Q.... Q....

    Ghostbusters - Tokyo Drift

    Q.... Q....

    Que Quotion Omg I just died laughing

  43. B.... S....

    Dont remember hearing this song before, but video freakin rocks. Japan is the best.

  44. d.... ....

    I wonder if this album will get re released as a 2 disc? 1 of the best debut albums ever.

    d.... ....

    Me too! *checks available retail outlets* lol.

    d.... ....

    I doubt it, there isn't enough good extra material. It'd be curios for die-hard fans only and you can already find some of them on YouTube (Unheard Music, etc)

  45. f.... ....

    That monster is fake. Just sayin'.

    f.... ....

    I love this comment ^^ lol.

    f.... ....

    Well he's dead now though, so no matter.

    f.... ....

    It was the 90s, CGI was rubbish then

    f.... ....

    and hysterically funny.

  46. J.... J....

    im here because of gilmore girl

  47. S.... B....

    J.... S....

    Citroen CX. Great car.

  50. f.... ....

    Since when is Elastica a 3 peace ?

    f.... ....

    +fractalign Annie quit the band before they made this video. She rejoined the band later but not before Donna quit.

  51. d.... h....

    This car can drive me back to the 90s.

  52. J.... M....

    That CX <3 <3 <3

  53. T.... ....

    I wanted to fuck the British Jew broad so bad then!!!!!

  54. M.... D....

    Where's the bass player?

    M.... D....

    @Michael Dino This was shot in that little bit when Annie left.

  55. T.... T....

    I like this group, them, great stuff

  56. R.... B....

    Yes, but vevo is just shit as well.

  57. v.... t....

    Damon Albarn wrote this album.

    v.... t....

    If it is true he should have keep the songs for blur! Is it not Brett Anderson who co-wrote a song.... and it is written on the LP?

    v.... t....

    ...as an aside, don't you think if he managed to write something this good, he'd manage some good work of his own?

    v.... t....

    @Peter Bonde yes I've heard that too, that Damon wrote a lot of it. The songs not copied from Wire or The Stranglers obviously.

    v.... t....

    @MeroveeG There is a song on the debut written about (but not by) Brett, it's Never Here. The co-written track is Elastica bside See That Animal and Suede unreleased track Going Blonde basically being the same song.

    v.... t....

    Damon is credited on the LP: Dan Abnormal (Damon Albarn) – Additional keyboards on tracks 4, 8 & 11

  58. R.... ....

    What the fuck does this video have to do with a chicks sensual attraction to cars? I love this song, this band never got all the exposure and credit it deserved.

  59. e.... ....

    Reminds me of the movie Push... not bad...

  60. C.... R....

    Oh my God!  You killed Godzilla.  You bastards!!!

    C.... R....

    He was getting out of hand.

  61. c.... n....

    justine, we should carpool sometime

    c.... n....

    With that sangwoo pic that sounds a tad creepy.

  62. u.... c....

    such a sexy song 

  63. L.... N....

    Great video and song Elastica!

  64. S.... J....

    costumes were provided by designer anna sui back when she was still pretty good. i still remember when they accompanied her show for that MTV special "fashionably loud" in 96. those were the days....this album was my soundtrack for the vast majority of those two years. 

  65. b.... c....

    Didn't even realise this was Spike Jonze.....

    b.... c....

    You can tell by how shiny everything is...and the lense flares. He was the JJ Abrams of 90's music videos.

  66. G.... ....

    The video is great, and much more family-friendly than the lyrical imagery here ...

  67. C.... G....

    Song rules. 

  68. G.... M....

    Love the song, love the Citroen CX!

  69. T.... ....

    I miss the weird and random 90's music videos.

  70. S.... S....

    Always had a lesbian crush on Justine!!! Hottest girl the indie scene ever!!!

  71. m.... ....

    where is the bass player?

    m.... ....

    She left around the time of the video's shooting.

  72. G.... F....

    every shining bonnet makes me think of my back on it!! lol amazeballs lyrics

  73. s.... ....

    Worst video of the coolest song.

  74. V.... ....

    Wtf i always thought this song was about them making fun of girls infatuated with cars. Turns out its about them chasing a ghost in Tokyo in the future.

  75. d.... ....

    Now that's what I call a music video..
    Gotta love the 90s, when it wasn't just all about scantily clad people writhing around to the unimaginative, commercial bullshit falling out of Cowell's gaping anus.

  76. t.... ....

    shoving headaches and this up someone's arse REALLY. LEAVE ME ALONE!
    nope, is "james agee curse" on a loop, can we make IT hit the terrorists instead?

  77. �.... ....

    5年以上探して、今日やっと見つけた。うれし!!!!!!!

  78. h.... ....

    de mis épocas postpunk

  79. T.... ....
