A13, Trunk Road to the Sea Songtext
von Billy Bragg

Well if you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that′s the best
Go motorin' on the A13

Well, if you′re looking for a thrill that's new
Take in Fords, Dartford Tunnel and the river too
Go motorin' on the A13

It starts down in Wapping
There it ain′t a stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon
Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea
Chalkwell, Prittlewell
Southend′s the end


If you ever go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that's the best
Go motorin′ on the A13

It starts down in Wapping
There it ain't a stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon
Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea
Chalkwell, Prittlewell
Southend′s the end

If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that's the best
Go motorin′ on the A13
Go motorin' on the A13
Go motorin' on the A13
