Here’s a song for the super-sized Brand New Car Songfight.
Some notes:
- There are 6 guitars playing at the end, all of them stereo tracked. Call it a tip-o’-the-hat to Johnny Marr.
- The bass guitar tone is a product of Carol Kaye’s felt muting trick.
- The slide guitar solo runs backwards under the second verse.
- This song is on Waking Up In August, remixed and properly mastered.
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.
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
We kissed the night goodbye,
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
She liked it in her brand new car
And now we go,
The truth came out, she knows:
I couldn’t drive
