People Carrier

(album: The Antidote - 2005)

Well it was '94 when I dug you out
And like the time before it was just bad luck
I should've knocked you out with an uppercut
but you smothered me shut

What is with me and these needy folk?
As we start some fun soon becomes a joke
Before we got a laugh we were up in smoke
It's rich going for broke

It's rich going for broke

The people carrier
Takes care of us all
Our safety barrier
Won't let us fall

When you hit the drink you're a different character
And it all comes down in a twisted mess
When you're holding court you're a big end barrister
Desperate to impress

I see you open up on a rare occasion
You've been dead so long that you've decomposed
And you come on strong like a pitch invasion
And the following day the case is closed

The following day the case is closed

The people carrier
Gets us from A to B
We're so much happier
Now we can see

I nearly broke my back trying to bring you happiness
I was way off track, some crazy horse
Then I collapsed in a shaggy mess
Fresh grounds for divorce

Fresh grounds for divorce

The people carrier
On top of it all
Over safety barrier
And then we fall

The people carrier
On top of it all
Over safety barrier
And then we fall
