Then, loop !
This is for the main riff (can be played on bass).
The kind of "solo/lyrics" played after (since there is no lyrics during the song) is a
mix of keyboard and guitar with weird but cool effects.
I went and messed around with her heart
So now she's run off with my car
But I can't live without her
(And it's so hard to take)
So I've set off out to find her
I'm back on the motorway
At this wheel I'd drive the earth for her
Every carriageway a mile for her
These five gears and wheels could drive to her
But this carriageway can't take me there
Drivin' at ninety miles per hour
It's hard to know what's comin'
Then on the horizon
Something makes me brake
I can see me darlin' ahead on the motorway
(I can see us dying on the bonnet of a chevrolet)
So why's my baby lying on the side of the motorway
'Cos now she's left me crying on the shoulder of the motorway
Sax solo!!!!
