Lyrics: Billy Bragg. From a Vauxhall Velox.
She said, "Do these seats fold down?" and I said, "If you pull that handle"
All the time she'd been waiting for something with a little more
And all her mates on the new estates
Were walking out in confetti and sunshine
Her mother read her mail and her dad was a policeman
Which I must say worried me but some things have just got to be
So we passed very fast like ships in the night
Or cars in a contraflow system
Some people say love is blind and I think that's just a bit short-sighted
Some people just want it now it doesn't matter where or how
Satisfaction takes a second place
So long as they can get excited
All the time she'd been waiting for something with a little more
And all her mates on the new estates
Were walking out in confetti and sunshine
Her mother read her mail and her dad was a policeman
Which I must say worried me but some things have just got to be
So we passed very fast like ships in the night
Or cars in a contraflow system
Some people say love is blind and I think that's just a bit short-sighted
Some people just want it now it doesn't matter where or how
Satisfaction takes a second place
So long as they can get excited
Billy Bragg
