Story Behind the Song
Part of my weird obsession with charcters... what happens if everything you need is in the back seat? All you need is the occasional stop off for love... or whatever. Mix od live sounds and programming with Damien's vocals floating above. Play it in the car.
Lyrics
He scans the neon horizon
He's out on search patrol
Lookin for a little something surprising
He's in cruise control
His wheels, they carry his fortune,
Right on board, all his dreams
He's fitted out, he's got all he needs,
He's got his comfortably converted groove machine
He says
Step on up, you don't know what you're missing,
Step inside, I got it all in back
Push that button, I'll give you something to believe,
I'll give you all that you needed, right on track
Outside the rains starts to biting
She stares at his dry mobile
Leaning back he's got a look that's inviting
Look out sister...
Look out sister...
Look out sister...
This one's for real.
SOLO
She's gone, that's another one over
Make your mark, then shift into gear
He's got no home, he just needs to pull over,
Who needs a home when it's all right here?
Miles out, the memory's still burning
Of that little doll that made his night complete
He's on the track, he's got all he needs
When he goes waltzing his matilda on his own back seat
