Lyrics:
Approach the junction at the Apollo
We’re due to play there a month tomorrow
Woke up this morning I was the cream of the crop
I should have checked, but I forgot
Send for the cops

In the old black tracksuit that I was sporting
I did some jobs picked up some parquet flooring
Life was so pleasant on this autumn day
I ran one last errand to The Range and was on my way

The speed limit’s 20 by the seventh wonder
I turned the corner probably fifteen under
Woke up this morning I was top of the pops
Now I’m a little more traffic cops
What the !!!!

Driving round’ town in your new car baby
What you trying to prove?
I’m an additional driver, this car’s my wife’s
So I won’t take this from you
I’ll take your digits and your number plate for future reference

All of a sudden the police come over
To me and a 44kw electric motor
They said “Can you give your license to me?”
Let me tell you I was not best pleased
I began to plead

No indication from the Fiat Panda
I’m sure you caught it on your dashboard camera
Believe me officer the exit was clear
Someone get me out of here
Now it gets weird

Fella comes over as if to help me
Turns out that all he wanted was a selfie
I used to wish that I was cream of the crop
Now I’m praying for the day that it stops
Send for the cops

Driving round’ town in your new car baby
What you trying to prove?

I’m an additional driver, this car’s my wife’s
So you’ll have to speak to her too
I sure hope that this exchange does not turn into a sentence

Now she’s claimed the insurance and it’s expensive
She said “I hope you understand from my perspective”
500 big ones that I had to pay
I should’ve stayed in bed today
Everybody says

Driving round’ town in your new car baby
What you trying to prove?
I’m an additional driver, this car’s my wife’s
So I won’t take this from you

Should’ve got the 192
