Earlier Version from Famous Blue Raincoat EP

lyrics

Slow Down (Wayne Gillespie /Rob Grosser)

1) Hot wire the ignition and give it a rev
He’s the original petrol head
His tyres burn and his girlfriend screams
As her head flies through the window screen

2) Tagging trains on the Hurstville line
He’s got plenty of speed but not much time
He tags his name on a railway car
But he sticks his neck out just a bit too far

Slow Down – Don’t move so fast
Slow Down…..

3) He drives all night with a load of gasoline
And his eyes propped open with Duromine
He takes the corner just a bit too wide
And the flames light up the countryside

4) He’s a Doctor of medicine he’s Mr Right
And his waterfront mansion it glows at night
He’s full of ambition and grandiose schemes
And his veins are full of Pethidine.

Slow Down – (don’t move so fast)
Slow Down – (don’t move so fast)
Slow Down - (don’t move so fast)
Slow Down …..


Bridge: There’s no telling what we’ll do
Wish I could spend more time with you
Always running against the clock
Once you start you just can’t ….

INSTRUMENTAL



5) The air is electricity when she’s around
She plays the oldest game in town
She likes to party, drinks her vodka neat
And she’s a much better actress than Meryl Streep

6) Fiery passion in a hotel room
These first time lovers they’re no bride and groom
“No need to hurry to hurry” she says “ no need to rush”
“Sixty seconds of love it’s never enough”

Slow Down – (don’t move so fast)
Slow Down – (don’t move so fast)
Slow Down - (don’t move so fast)
Slow Down …..
