Another new song on a motoring theme, though a little darker this time - I am saddened and alarmed by the amount of reckless drivers around these days, especially on my morning drive to work and on motorways.
On the rare occasion I attend a funeral, I find it ironic that when I emerge back out into the street everybody seems to be rushing around, but we all end up in the same place...
In our everyday lives traffic accidents are common unfortunately, a few people I've known personally have been killed in freak accidents just in this year, more lives are lost and injuries caused in the world by road traffic accidents so the statistics tell us, more than anything including war and illness - take care out there, I'm not in any hurry at all...
Thanks for watching, and as always PLAY LOUD !...but please, not while you're driving! (-;

WAKE UP, GET DRESSED,
NO TIME TO GET DEPRESSED.
CLEAN YOUR TEETH, SHINE YOUR SHOES,
NO TIME TO SING THE BLUES.
START THE CAR, CLEAN OFF THE FROST,
DON'T BE LATE AND UPSET THE BOSS.
PULL OUT, JOIN THE QUEUE,
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.
HELL DAMN, THE USUAL JAM,
I'LL NEVER GET THERE ON TIME.
ALL THE PEOPLE, IN A HURRY,
JUST TO END UP IN A CEMETARY.
AT MY DESK, CUP O' TEA,
I LOVE MY SECRETARY.
BUSY DAY, NO TIME FOR LUNCH,
BIG WORKLOAD - THANKS A BUNCH !
GETTIN' DARK, TIME TO GO,
JOIN THE EVENING OVERFLOW.
SEE ME - I'M CLASS...
I'M SITTIN' HERE RIGHT UP YOUR ASS...!
SOME FOOLS WILL GO FAR,
JUST TO RIDE IN THAT BIG BLACK CAR.
ALL THE PEOPLE IN A HURRY,
TO GET IN THAT CEMETARY...
CRAZY FOOLS...
YOU TAKE CARE NOW, Y' HEAR?
From forthcoming album "Playin' Out of the Box - The Slowpaw Old-Time Travelin' Medicine Show"

Great song and so true. I lived in London for a year I am from Sheffield. When I left England I was working in Sheffield I would take 1hour or more to drive the 7 mile to work and then the same back...
thanks UJ and Col - just another busy day at work! ...though now i only live 3 miles from my workplace out in the 'burbs, i only go into Town if i have to, when i worked in the west end i used the underground, which had its own problems....Olympic week is going to be fun, believe me! (-:
Hey, Steve. Good wishes on the album and rehearsals. But if you get in the mood, come back and give us a vid - a cover a ?
many thanks guys!
won't be doing any more videos until the winter, they take a long time to do and i've got an album to finish and rehearsals to do (-:
Gees, good one, Steve. Makes me glad to live in a one stop light town. (With a 2 minute walk to one part time job and a 5 minute drive to the other).
good stuff ,, makes me wanna post "bad habit " by offspring . ;-)
but that negates the whole anti death thing ya got goin here.
Steve, you just summed up my life until the end of 2011 ! Madness on the A14 at both ends of every manic day. I've stopped doing it now and wish I'd 'changed down' years ago. Thanks for some fabulous lyrics, really well performed.
