Your Daddy's Car

Home demo, Fivemiletown, 1991-1992 (3:54)

We took your Daddy’s car
And drove it to the sea.
We fooled around for hours.
Then when we got tired and it got dark
We found a place to park
And we watched the sun set fire to the sea.

Can you feel the sadness in our love?
It’s the only kind we’re worthy of.
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?
Engine starts.

We took your Daddy’s car
We drove it into town.
We steamed into a bar.
We bought the biggest bottle of champagne
And driving through the rain,
We sang:
“God bless this car, and all who sail in her!”

Can you feel the sadness in our love?
It’s the only kind we’re worthy of.
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?
Engine starts.

We took your daddy’s car
And wrapped it round a tree.
We didn’t know what for.
We didn’t fell like living anymore.
Life was so good we got bored.
We are dying from the day we are born.

Can you feel the sadness in our love?
It’s the only kind we’re worthy of.
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?
Engine starts.
