I WAS STEALING A CAR WITH MY BROTHER

if you could steal any car in the world what one would it be?
thats what my brother asked me
i said a ford capri, ford capri

my brother said he knew where there was one near our house
it was 1:30 in the morning
we went to where he thought there was one, there was one.
i looked thru the window
there was nothing to see
my brother tried the door - it did not open
the window broke easy though
it start easy too
i was in the passenger seat
i did not put my seat belt on
my brother was driving
we were driving in the area that we grew up in
we drove past our old school
i remembered a time when my brother pushed me over

i did not cry
i did not cry then

we were going faster
we were going nowhere
my brother had no regard for the authorities

its 1:43
we drove past an all night garage
he did not switch the headlights on
sometimes cars passing us would flash their lights to indicate that our headlights were not on

we passed the shops where we used to hang out
there was a time when my brother was arrested there for shop lifting
the police questioned me too, but i had done nothing
we drove past some drunk people
my brother drove real close to them, too close, we almost hit them, i think maybe he want to

i heard a siren
the police were there, trying to pull us over.
my brother he go faster, he would not stop
the police gave chase
we're going faster
60mph
sirens ringing. radio blaring on full volume
total conflict with the authorities
he did not care if we lived or died
there was a copy of hello magazine in the glove compartment
we were passing out of the area that i knew
and out of the city too

its 1:51
we are on the motorway
a motorway bridge came up ahead
you were in the back. do you remember when you first held my hand?
my brother asked me if i was scared
he swerved the car across the central reservation
we were driving on the wrong side of the road
headlights were coming straight at us
police car was parrallel with us
it was on the right side of the road
im the king of the world he said to me

74 mph
my brother was smiling
i could feel the sweat on my back
i looked across at the police car
i could see them looking at us they were on their radios
i knew soon there would be more police
street lights were flashing in my face
my brother smiled and looked at me
are you ready?
he span the car
i knew he knew what he was doing
we were turned around
now we were going the right way - on the other side

what car would you steal?
what car would you steal?

we're at the top of a hill
going down hill
accererating
like a rollercoaster
i saw blue lights behind us
i see flashing lights, ahead of us, a kinda road block
i was only fifteen

were going faster
faster than anything
100mph
straight up ahead
it is a kinda road block
my brother he dont know how to stop
gonna smash thru the road block
hold on tight he says to me
i see him close his eyes

sometimes i still see my brother
hes still smiling
i know that if he was still here, he would wish that we had stolen a faster car

after it, i saw it on television
the man said on television
that the damage we caused would cost [a fortune] /[100000 pounds] to repair
he said that lives had been ruined
my brother did not care

more ecstasy than ever
total edge
more ecstasy than ever

lose control
