lyrics

PETROLHEAD

An ordinary start: a guard on the gate calls
Says people are coming to talk to him
He hides the gold plate in a drawer, discreetly
Rehearsing another angle
90 degrees from reality
Not touching the basic fact
Spinning up a fantasy
From bogus research done to distract

They made him stop - he backs away for days

Now a smell of petrol in the hall
Unstop a plastic can from Exxon out of Mobil
What Texaco has done cannot be undone
All of the south is burning
Charred hands coming to spread the love
Set flame to the lords above
Hammer home what the world’s become
Tear down the winners so nobody won

Nobody won

Overturn the sideboard
Smash the trophy cabinet into matchwood
Rip the files into pieces
And spread the paper over the carpet
Make a pile of the wood and cloth
The expensive suits and handmade guitars
Tear the paintings off the wall they’re also oil oil oil

And one final cigarette
The rattle of a matchbox
They’re walking backwards out the door
Pouring petrol on the floor
