Lyrics
A34
Rain and headlight blinding my eyes
I feel like I can't see a thing
Your mobile's being picked up by the answerphone
When I try to ring
Driving home this dark road again
They call it A34
Everybody's speeding
My head's aching
Been here countless times before
My eyes turning purple
Feel like I've been on the booze
I wish I had
At least I'd have
A decent excuse
For looking like a goose
It's one lonely place to be in
When you worry about everything
When you feel no-one cares
And you know
You're just being a wimp
This journey seems to take forever
And I ain't got the time
I gotta be there
I gotta arrive
I've got a date at 9
Pull over here hit the curb
Kill the light just in case
Dark is getting darker
Rain's falling harder
And I'm plain scared
Wishing there was someone out there
Who actually gave a toss
But hey, gotta face reality
Coz ain't berry or moss
My eyes...
This journey...
...I got a date at nine
With my bed
