When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there’s a face you know
Don’t the nights pass slow
Don’t the nights pass slow
The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road
What’s the matter with the car I’m driving?
Can’t you tell that it’s out of style?
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
Are you gonna cruise a miracle mile?
Nowadays you can’t be too sentimental
Your best bet’s a true baby-blue Continental
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it’s old junk
It’s still rock and roll to me
I’ve been drivin’ all night, my hand’s wet on the wheel
There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel
It’s my baby callin’, says I need you here
And it’s a half past four and I’m shiftin’ gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin’ in from above
Don’t need no phone at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
Like Steve McQueen
All I need’s a fast machine
And I’m gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You’ll never catch me tonight
Whoa, And that’s the story of Speed Ball
The wild motorcyclist, don’t ride his motor no more
No Speed Ball, the wild motorcyclist
Done found a better way to go
Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway,
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way…
I wish I was a spaceman
The fastest guy alive
I’d fly you 'round the universe
In Fireball XL5
Way out in space together
Conquerors of the sky
My heart would be a fireball, a fireball
Every time I gazed into your starry eyes
I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I’ve got speed
I’ve got everything I need
I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I can fly
I’m a supersonic guy
I don’t need pleasure
I don’t feel pain
If you were to knock me down I’d just get up again
I’m the urban spaceman, baby; I’m makin’ out
I’m all about
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real…
I haven’t got time for the pain any more.
Tonight I got time for you (time)
Tonight I got plans on
My mind for you (yeah)
Don’t take this light
I’m excited too (girl)
Running red lights (skrrt)
Some sliding through (yeah)
Better believe it
Girl I’m the truth (yeah)
Zoooommm
Tooling down the highway doing seventy-nine
I’m a twin pipe papa and I’m feelin’ fine
Hey man dig that was that a red stop sign
Transfusion transfusion
I’m just a solid mess of contusions
Never never never gonna speed again
Slip the blood to me Bud
Cop’s on the corner, look he’s starting to write
Well, I don’t need no ticket so I screamed out of sight
Drove so fast that my eyes can’t see
Look in the mirror, is he still following me?
Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll, roll
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Yeah, the back of the roadhouse,
They’ve got some bungalows.
Yeah, the back of the roadhouse,
They’ve got some bungalows.
They dance for the people
Who like to go down slow.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, all night long.
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
Don’t wanna be under your thumb forever
Don’t wanna be under your thumb forever
Don’t wanna be under your thumb
It’s over and done
I’ll never be under your thumb forever
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn’t need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
[It’s the 50th Anniversary today of the release of Abbey Road.]
And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world
We’d takelong walks down by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other’s eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day he went away and I thought I’d die, but I didn’t
