The Car Won’t Start Songtext
von Roger Glover & The Guilty Party

My head′s on the block with the company
Nothing I can do about that
I tried to be good, did the best that I could
Guess I wasn't that hot
My car was making a funny sound
But it′s not funny at all
Looked under the hood but it don't look good
Maybe time for a recall

(The car won't start) Car won′t start
(Got bills to pay) Got bills to pay
(I got no money) I got no money
(The cat′s gone astray) The cat's gone astray
No time to get back home before it starts to rain
But who′s complaining?


"The world's on its side," said the man
And he wasn′t complaining
Just pointing it out like a good boy scout
No judge and no jury could blame him
I'm watching it all on a TV screen
With a beer and a snack
Famines and wars and an ozone with flaws
Well, I can′t do much about that

(The car won't start) The car won't start
(And I missed the train) And I missed the train
(The rent′s been doubled) The rent′s been doubled
(The cat's gone again) The cat′s gone again
Every day as my mother would say
The world has gone insane
But who's complaining?
Not me

The car won′t start
Got bills to pay
Got no money
The cat's gone astray
The car won′t start
And I missed the train
The rent's been doubled
The cat's gone again
The car won′t start
