SL57 RIP

There's a time and a place
For reggae music
Maybe it's not on the M1
Going northbound at 57mph
Past the Markham Vale Junction
Maybe if I hadn't been listening to music
Maybe I could've been a little distracted
And I'd have seen that van
Slam on his break lights
And poor old Mrs Whitehead
Would not have rear-ended my car

Sorry Mrs Whitehead
Wherever you are
I was listenig to Mungo's HiFi
When you rear-ended my car
Sorry Mrs Whitehead's daughter
Wherever you are
I hope my insurance pays out
And you get your Mum a nice bright
Shiny new car

I've been listening to Mungo's HiFi
Since I was about twenty
They used to come and play at my mate's house
We had a hell of a party
We had the soundsystem set up in the woods
Campfires screen projectors
All my friends were gathered round
Yeah everyone was there
Sometimes when I hear that music
I think back to those old days
And I wonder what the twenty year old me
Would make of this world we've made
The oceans are full of plastic
There's carbon everywhere
But I love David Attenborough
He's 94 and he still cares

Sorry Mrs Whitehead
Wherever you are
I was listenig to reggae music
When you rear-ended my car
Sorry Mrs Whitehead's daughter
Wherever you are
I hope my insurance pays out
And you get your Mum a nice bright
Shiny new car

There's a time and a place
For reggae music
I'll stop dreaming on the M1
Maybe I'll get my bike out the garage
Leave the car at home
Sorry Mrs Whitehead
Wherever you are
I hope my insurance pays out
And you get yourself a nice bright
Shiny new electric car
