Verse
i'm on a b road heading for the sea
to see if hands across the ocean shake or
wave - shake or wave
through the whiplash of the windscreen wipers
i can see for miles but all i do is watch the
time and the driver's hands
he harbours thoughts on personal grief
i said your hardship's only one of a fleet
that didn't go down well
Chorus
listen son if you'd spent your life in the last lane
you’d have an accent to grind
punch-drunk on patriotism blind on borderism
maybe i should drive
Verse
and while you're castaway the mice'll play
they'll have a license to dull those left back
home - what about those poor souls?
Chorus
listen son if you'd spent your life in the last lane
you’d have an accent to grind
punch-drunk on patriotism blind on borderism
maybe i should drive
and as i jumped to these conclusions
he thumped his feet on the brakes
but we still hit a songwriter trudging through the rain
Solo
F Fmaj7 F6 F - F Fmaj7 F6
Outro
scrambled out and watched him rest in pieces
said a prayer and rifled through his pockets
and the side of his mouth still had something to say
at the toss of a coin i end up
head in the dirt and tail in the
air and yet you can dance away
be it friend or hard,
up-man, fellow or kin
when your chips are down they're down for good
