Status Quo: Crawling From The Wreckage

(G. Parker)

Got out really early from the factory
Drivin' like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was acting so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Man, the drunks were verbal in the takeaway
Beating up the Chinee at the counter
I put a few inside me at the end of the day
I took out my revenge on the revolution counter

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

In walks Bud with his exploding nose
He'd been givin' it maximum today
He shouted "How the devil? You in trouble I suppose?
But all you ever do is run away."
Turned up the motor into hyperdrive
I wasn't gonna take any of that
Don't get bright ideas about a suicide
Cos all I ever hear is zoom bang bang bang

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression
I dry up my drink, get people running for the door
I gotta make some kind of impression
'Cos when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel
I'm only half the man I should be
But metal hitting metal is all I feel
And everything's as good as it possibly could be

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage
