"Stop This Car" lyrics
Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers Lyrics
"Stop This Car"
All right this is a one, a two
A one two three four
So far she's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seat full of cigarette burns
Good-bye in the front
Good-bye all about
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!
I'm not gonna wait until we land in the brook
And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look
Now they're all laughing at us with the brook trout
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!
"Mellow out man, mellow out"
"No, no"
"Yeah, what's he so uptight about?"
"No, no"
"Smoke some of this man"
"And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?"
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
I say, stop this car I'm getting out!
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!
Suppose that deer runs across the road
Suppose that truck hits a rock in front of us
All you mellow little fellows could be scattered about
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car, thanks, I'm getting out!
"Jonathan, don't make a scene!"
"O.K., just tell her to wait until the light turns green"
"You're wild man, like your vibes are so uptight"
"Yeah, but not for long pal, I'm saying good night"
She's taken three red lights
Four wrong turns
She's got the leatherette seats filled with cigarette burns
Bye in the front
Bye all about
Stop this car I'm getting out
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
Stop this car I'm getting out!

The Stooges - "Down On The Street" Well, down on the street where the faces shine
Floatin' around, on a real O-Mind
I see a pretty thing - ain't no wall

The Replacements - "Skyway" You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street
But you take the skyway

Television - "Venus" It was a tight toy night, streets so bright
The world was so thin between my bones and skin
There stood another person who was a little surprised
To be face to face with a world so alive

Nick Lowe - "My Heart Hurts" I get it every day
I'm getting use to it
Now (but) every time it hits
My heart quits
I wear a little smile
While swallowing the dirt
But underneath my shirt
My heart hurts
It's murder but it's nice...
John Cale - "Paris 1919" She makes me so unsure of myself
Standing there but never talking sense
Just a visitor you see
So much wanting to be seen
She'd open up the door and vaguely carry us away
It's the customary thing to...
