The Smiths

This Charming Man

When in this charming car, this charming man
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth on the passenger's seat?


There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my Cortina
A seasoned-up hyena
Could not have been more obscener

It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe............


Take it easy - The Eagles.




I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear

Love Shack B52s : Hop in my Chrysler it's as big as a whale.
Don’t forget Planet Claire by the B52s

She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
A-faster than the speed of light

Lana Del Rey:

White Mustang.
"...The day I saw your white Mustang
Your white Mustang
And you're revvin' and revvin' and revvin' it up
And the sound, it was frightenin'
And you were gettin' a part of that
You're gonna hit me like lightnin'..."


Bartender.
"...I bought me a truck in the middle of the night
It'll buy me a year if I play my cards right
Photo free exits from baby's bedside
'Cause they don't yet know what car I drive
I'm just try'na keep my love alive..."

L7:

Shirley.
"...Welcome the first lady to try and qualify in an NHRA-dragster competition Shirley Muldowney!
Feels so real
Crushing the steering wheel
How many times
Must we toe this line
Halting me
Is a fantasy..."


Dizee Rascal:

Heavy.
"...cause I blew up like tiptronic..."


Blur:

He thought of cars.
"...He thought of cars
And where, where to drive them
And who to drive them with
And there, there was no one, no one..."


Public Enemy:

Can ya'll hear me now.

"...Gotta a 1994 hear you talkin
But it's damn sure better than walkin
It might be old, it sure ain't gold
Better than stylin in the cold
It ain't no rolls, so wont get stoled
But you wont see me walking on
No side of the road..."
