Well here are what I think are the lyrics – but what’s that fifth line anyone?
0-60 in 3 Seconds Flat
What a glamorous life, sometimes it ain’t though
It’s the end of the day I’m on my Jack Jones
My bus is full of gear to unload
So I drive to where it lives at my studio
Someone’s brain was in standby mode
When they parked their car and blocked the road
I was ready to explode, minutes passed but time had slowed
I’m not a law breaker I’m a melody maker
Who was upset that afternoon
I was on it eight bricks on the bonnet
Expressed my point of view
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
From the gifted to an utter twat
It’s 0-60 in 3 seconds flat
The owner turned up two people in tow
As I put bricks seven and eight down just so
I thought they looked quite artistic
She didn’t share my view, went ballistic
She ranted, shouted, her finger wagged
I have never known such spittle flak
We went round in circles, no ending approached
So i got in my bus bye bye I go
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
From the gifted to an utter twat
It’s 0-60 in 3 seconds flat
A few weeks later I was taken away
Photographed, fingerprinted DNA’d
Like it or not I’m on the database
Arrested and advised that anything I say
Could be used in evidence against the smile on my face
So now I close my eyes and count to ten
When the vindictive side of me kicks in
An apprehended villain, hey that’s me in the stats
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
0-60 in 3 seconds flat
From the gifted to an utter twat
It’s 0-60 in 3 seconds flat
Ooh! New song! :-) Written by who?
Sounds like it could’ve been on Pandemonium… perhaps it’s an outtake?
Is it autobiographical? Is he now a fun loving criminal?
Yes! It’s a true story. He tells it in this clip from The Wright Stuff, at about the 3:20 mark.
Well, maybe not fun loving! It seems to be more of a cautionary tale…
