BRAND NEW CAR by Explino!
Lyrics by Rachael Layne/Glenn Case/Ken Mahru
I want a brand new house
It doesn't have to be that big
Just somewhere...that I can lay my head
I want a brand new job
I'm tired of the headaches and the stress
Let me just start over
I need a change
I need something that I can't put my finger on
Let's change the scenery
Cuz everything feels wrong
It's time to move on
CHORUS
That's why I bought this brand new car
I'm driving fast, I'm on the 101
and I'll leave this all behind me
So what time can I pick you up?
I'm switching lanes, I'm ready for a change
But I still need you beside me
so... I'll open up the door
Buckle up.
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
I need some brand new friends
Ones who haven't seen me at my worst
Ones who don't remember
The way I used to be
'Cause I have plans to build from my foundation
Let me just start over
I'm on my way to something
Do you know where I can buy a map to speed this up?
It's taking way too long
It's time to move on
And I've been driving around...
And the streets they all look
sad
Sad
SAD!
Repeat Chorus
Brand New Car

Brand New Car by Steve Durand
I'll tell you how I'm feeling
There's nothing as appealing
As driving in my brand new car
It's got a
Six CD Changer
and XM radio
Eight speaker surround sound
Backlit gauges all aglow
A navigation system
And a power moonroof too
An eight way power driver's seat
That molds itself to you
Z rated tires
And traction control
A fuel Injected V6
300 Horses make it roll
Independent 4 wheel suspension
Oh, it makes me feel alive
To get into my brand new car
And drive
My Brand new car
I'll tell you how I'm feeling
There's nothing as appealing
As driving in my brand new car
It's got a
Six CD Changer
and XM radio
Eight speaker surround sound
Backlit gauges all aglow

Oh, it makes me feel alive

I was walking home from school, I was deep in thought
When I saw a crowd of kids in the parking lot.
I really had to see what the buzz was about
So I took a detour from my usual route.
They were pointing at something that I couldn’t see
But as I got closer it was clear to me
There was Bobby with a grin on his face
And a bright red Vette in his parking space
Bobby’s got a brand new, a brand new car
It’s really gonna take him, take him far
Take his new car out for a whirl
Find himself a brand new, a brand new girl.
It’s really gonna change the way things are
He's lookin like a movie, a movie star
Bobby got a brand new image today
Cause Bobby’s got a brand new car
I was walking back to school the very next day
I saw something red and it was coming my way
The radio was blasting and the top was down
That’s gotta be the coolest car in town.
With his dark sunglasses and his wind blown hair
Bobby had the look that would make you stare.
And the girl riding shotgun made the scene complete.
Hey, that’s MY baby in the passenger seat!
Bobby’s got a brand new, a brand new car
It’s really gonna take him, take him far
Take his new car out for a whirl
Find himself a brand new, a brand new girl.
It’s really gonna change the way things are
He's lookin like a movie, a movie star
Bobby got a brand new image today
Cause Bobby’s got a brand new car
Bobby’s got a brand new, a brand new car
It’s really gonna take him, take him far

Brand New Car
by Baron Von Smith
you used to ride your bike
all over town
but you couldn't pedal fast enough
to cover all the ground
that you had to cover
to spread yourself between lovers
i bought you a brand new car
now i don't know where you are
you said i drove you away
but you were driving yourself
when you left here today
you used to ride the bus
line twenty-two
but it just didn't take you far enough
to do what you had to do
with your other lover
and you thought i'd never discover
i bought you a brand new car
now i don't know where you are
you said that i drove you away
but you were driving yourself
when you left me today
if i had only known
that you were cutting me out
you wouldn't be driving now
you would have had to WALK out
but when you turned the key
and you turned the wheel
you turned away from me
in your brand new automobile

Brand New Car
by the Hell Yeahs
I'm blowin' a kiss to the motorists I've left behind me
maybe crime don't pay but I'm gettin' away regardless
Lick hot rod lips and fist the shifter into fifth
with a change of car and clothes I'm cute and harmless.
Bullet holes and a trunk fulla bodies
A little bank job became a fuckin' disaster
Switchblade slip at the dealership, I got a brand new car
And I'm drivin' it faster
I cruised that Chrysler coast to coast, LA to Jersey,
I ran that damn sedan on many a mission.
Had a change of plates for every state except Missouri,
and you know that lettin' it go was a tough decision
Bullet holes and a trunk fulla bodies
A little bank job became a fuckin' disaster
Switchblade slip at the dealership, I got a brand new car
And I'm drivin' it faster
I know you wanna, but I don't think you wanna wanna
It takes a bit adjustin' shit like seat and mirrors,
but the radio's already on my station.
I'm calm and smilin' though the siren's comin' nearer
'cause it's still my fucked up Chrysler that their chasin'
Bullet holes and a trunk fulla bodies
A little bank job became a fuckin' disaster
Switchblade slip at the dealership, I got a brand new car
And I'm drivin' it faster
Bullet holes and a trunk fulla bodies
A little bank job became a fuckin' disaster
Bittersweet and shit I guess I'm drivin' it I got a brand new car.

Let's go home.
You know, I think with every drink
she's more like me.
There's wrong and right,
but we don't need to say it.
But she and I
should be restrained.
We rode like kids.
We hung out of the windows
And now we go
The truth came out, she knows:
I couldn't drive
Let's go home.
You know, I think with every drink
she's more like me.

but we don't need to say it.
- I was nothing but a passenger back then
She liked it in her brand new car.
All loaded up, I swear we never got far
But she and I
should be restrained.
We rode like kids.
We hung out of the windows
- I was nothing but a passenger back then
She liked it in her brand new car.
All loaded up, I swear we never got far

POSI TRACTION
(specializing in live, drunken songwriting and performing with simultaneous recording)
in my brand new car
we can go faster
forget who we are
brand new highway
we can go all the way
you can't say, just take a number
we can select your selective attention
brand new car, we'll drive so far
we get excited and turn it up but it's on its side
say the wind is blowing your mind away
you can fatulate, pixelate
brand new car, we'll drive so far
(the drive)
my brand new car, built to take you away
cause it's my brand new ride, meant to take you inside
take you

Everybody loves my brand new car
and everybody likes the way I like to drive it
so I'm driving down the freeway fast and far
to show you my car my new car that everybody loves
Everybody knows that love can end
but everybody knew that ours would last forever
so I'm driving down these old familiar roads again
to show you my love my old love that everybody knows
If only I can get you inside for a ride
We'd drive off in the sunset the wind in our hair
I know a car's a foolish object of pride
and I'd rather have pride in us
but it sure beats taking the bus
If only I can get you inside for a ride
We'll drive off for the weekend, the wind at our backs
Committing double sins of lust and of pride
what a ride, have to try it once
or we might as well have taken the bus
Allow me to shift gears for a minute
to say that this is love and figure out how I got in it
I don't know, I really can't explain it
but I had to put the top up in a lame attempt to contain it
And I know this is a strange way to spin it
My heart is racing at a thousand beats per minute
I don't care, I really have to show it
and I have to put my foot down, there's no way I can control it
And this too may pass
Before it does I'm gonna step on the gas
Everybody wants a chance to drive
and everybody's got a direction that they're heading
it's a shame to leave your life on the passenger side
to think what might've happened if we'd taken a chance
And so tonight I'm gonna get you inside for a ride
We'll drive off to El Paso and never come back
I know a girl's a foolish object of pride
and I tried to forget about us
but I might as well have taken the bus
(That's me, king of the near-rhymes)

My brand new car has everything
Goes very far, can't stay in place, oh
It will run me over if I stay here
It will drive me crazy and I've never been
My brand new shoes, they feel like air
I'm walkin' on clouds, I'm everywhere, oh
They will kick my shins if I stay here
They will stomp me down, but oh aren't they pretty?
My brand new clothes are fitted tight
I cannot breath but it feels right, oh
They will itch me crazy if I stay here
They will suffocate me, I'm a breathless beauty
My brand new soul has everything
It's the latest model, luxury edition, oh
It will leave my body if I stay here
If it leaves my body at least I'll have my brand new car
Goes very far, can't stay in place, oh
It will run me over if I stay here
It will drive me crazy and I've never been

Brand New Car words by J$, music and 'impassionately pronounced advertising slogans' by Andy Balham
(FYI MG was the UK's last 'major' automobile producer. They were propped up by successive governments until the their poor cars inevitably caused their eventual demise)
MG closed it doors today
The last new car has rolled away
Three thousand workers are let go
Auto-moto horror show
A man called Niles buys that last car
A city gent, won't take it far,
A second car for dogging trips
Out past MG's rubbish tip
Chorus: Same old shit, a brand new car
Not everyone gets caviar
Same old story in the end
No good or bad, just spend spend spend
A man called Joe he stays indoors
He worked 10 years on MG's floors
He jangles keys and gets depressed
Unemployed, car repossessed
Niles & Joe their paths converge -
One evening, walking on the verge,
Joe gets splashed as Niles parks MG
He scratches paintwork with his key
Chorus:
Middle 8 (a bunch of impassionately pronounced advertising slogans 'Air conditioning!' 'Leather Seats' etc over a guitar solo)

BRAND NEW CAR / King Arthur
Well, it's Saturday night
I got a brand new car,
Two lefts, one right,
Half a mile straight ahead and here we are.
It's ladies' night
And all the girls are hot
I gotta get one of these honeybees
To follow me out to the parking lot.
Marlboro man, you're close but no cigar,
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout
A man with a brand new car.
Well, it's just about midnight,
We're crusing up Main,
Fifth street, Broadway, down to 27th,
Now we're waitin' for a train.
But that's okay,
I got the tunes up loud;
DVD player showing "Fast and Furious"
And I'm drawing a crowd.
The wheels are the big attraction,
But I'm the star
'Cause I'm the kid with the keys to a brand new car.
Don't have to be a Bentley,
Don't have to be a Benz,
Long as it's wearin' paper plates
The fun never ends...
It's two in the morning,
We're stopping for gas,
Camaro at the next pump, thinks he's so bitchin',
He can kiss my ass.
Gas prices up
To two thirty five,
But whatcha gonna do?
You got a brand new car
You wanna drive, drive, drive.
Gas up and go, follow that star.
Take a look at me,
I'm the boy in the brand new car.
