Billy Bragg - From a Vauxhall Velox

She said do these seats fold down
I said if you pull that handle
All the time she’d been waiting for
Something with a little more
And all her mates on the new estates
Were walking out in confetti and sunshine

Her mother read her mail
And her dad was a policeman
Which I must say worried me
But some things have just got to be
So we passed very fast like ships in the night
Or cars in a contraflow system

Some people say love is blind
But I think that’s just a bit short-sighted
Some people just want it now
It doesn’t matter where or how
Satisfaction takes a second place
So long as they can get excited
