"What Are Folk Like?"

 

Better Things To Do (Justin Ward)

 

A song about driving away from a relationship. You can never have enough driving songs. Relationships are another matter. Interesting bar structure - well interesting given that all the other songs go 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.

 

E major.

 

 

 

There's rain in the air
The lights stay red
Is there anybody there
Now the radio’s dead

Through the wipers I

Just look up and down
And I wonder why

I don't just leave town

Chorus
I don’t care how far it's gone
I don't know when I first knew
I don't recognise the road you're on
And I’ve got better things to do; better things to do

Slow for the camera

Wait for the tone
The satnav samurai

Can go it alone
A flash of blue

There’s nothing to see
Keep moving you

Catch it on TV

Chorus

I turn the wheel

I follow that line
I hear tyres squeal

But they're not mine
I need some money

I need a drive-through
Where were you baby

When I needed you
