I Need A Fast Car

(album: We Didn't Invent The Remix - 2006)

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove

I was hard up, couldn't get a large cup
Waiting there for my change in the Starbucks
Thinking bout just how much my car sucks
Then I was star struck, one of those mad things
Picking up a napkin, sipping on my latte
Saw her shoes but her face looked blasé
Whatever, knew this was our day
Wanna take a ride in my car pretty lady?
Maybe not, that's too cheap
This ain't hollywood, need a jolly good line
for this fine young pussycat
Woman that I'm looking at
talking back fine, but I've only got rookie chat
If only I had a Ferrari
Then I'd be a Ken doll and she'd be Barbie
We could ride together with the roof rolled down
With the whole town jealous of my girl and my fast car
She's a woman of the likes that I've never seen
And I'm a student, a nerd and I'm seventeen
It's a given that she'll never like moi
Unless I get a car that she'll wanna ride far with
me into the sunset, we could have fun
wherever she'd wanna go I'm heading for that
When she wants to drive fast I'm ready for that
My hand on the wheel with her head in my lap.

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove

I want a woman like Angelina Jolie
to show me, where the grass is greener
on a daily basis. A proper fit lady
Friends say I'm cool, but they never persuade me
Try an chat her up but I ain't got skills,
and I never do it proper. Never bought high heels
for a woman all I know is they like high frills.
I need cash for a new set of wheels
That's not possible, what about that tosser Paul?
Left the keys for his Porsche,
with my dad he had only just bought her.
Here they are by our phone in the saucer
What a find, I'm sure he won't mind
if I take his little beast on the road for a test
drive. To suggest that I took the piss
is an understatement, look I need this.
On the road with the roof rolled back
You never seen a killer with a smile this hard
but now I'm in charge and it's cos of these keys
Have any girl I want cos I'm the bees knees
Look at her over there with the long hair
She looking back, giving me the long stare.
A proper connoisseur *Tyres screech*
Oh Shit, I didn't see her

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I've got nothing to prove
