MOTORWAY
(Ray Davies)
motorway food is the worst in the world
you've never eaten food like you've eaten on the motorway
motorway food is the worst in the world
the coffee tastes weak and the cakes taste stale
and gasoline fumes are the worst to inhale
your stomach rolls over and your face turns pale
oh, that motorway livin'
ain't it a thrill to be so free, yeh
riding down the motorway
got to charge up my batteries
rest my seat, rest my eyes
so tired, tired of livin', tired of livin' this motorway livin'
motorway tea is warm and wet
the rain is a pouring and it's four in the morning
and it's all I can get
you've never seen loos like motorway loos
thousands of people passing through
it's enough to put you off of your motorway food
oh that motorway living
ain't it a thrill to be so free, yeh
got to get away from
cats eyes, cold meat pies
thousand on raft, cold French fries
so tired, tired of livin', tired of livin' this motorway livin'
motorway food is invariably fried
it keeps me and feeds me and helps me survive
oh that motorway, ain't it a thrill to be so free, yeh
riding down the motorway, cats eyes, cold meat pies
thousand on raft, cold French fries
so tired, tired of livin', tired of livin' this motorway livin'
motorway food is the worst in the world
you'll never eaten food like you've eaten on the motorway
motorway food is the worst in the world
my stomach's upset and I don't feel well
gotta get my head down, stop for a while in a motorway hotel
mama oh mama, my dear Suzi too
this motorway message is sent just for you
my headache's improved but my back really hurts
I never thought I'd travel so far to work
na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na na, na na na na
