Lyrics

[Intro]
Drive to the forest in a Japanese car
Drive, drive
Drive to the car, drive, drive, drive
Drive, drive
[Verse 1]
Drive to the forest in a Japanese car
The smell of rubber on country tar
Hindsight does me no good
Standing naked in this back of the woods
The cassette played poptones
[Verse 2]
They drive to the forest in a Japanese car
The smell of rubber on country tar
Her hindsight does me no good
Standing naked in this back of the woods
The cassette played poptones
[Verse 3]
I can't forget the impression you made
You left a hole in the back of my head
I don't like hiding in this foliage and peat
It's wet and I'm losing my body heat
The cassette played poptones
[Verse 4]
This bleeding heart looking for bodies
Nearly injured my pride
Praise picnicking in the British countryside
Poptones
Poptones
