STEREOPHONICS LYRICS - I Stopped To Fill My Car Up

"I Stopped To Fill My Car Up"



i stopped to fill my car up

the car felt good that day

i didn't know where i was going

but it felt good for a change

a five and a pocket full of silver

i paid the lady no change

and then it started to piss down

i started driving again

and then i looked up

and looked in the mirror behind me

a man round forty in the back seat

must have stepped in when i was empty

so why's he sat there just waiting

likely to smash my face in

he had a bag full of money

he said just drive me away

i didn't know where i was going

yet it felt good to be strange

and still i look up

and look in the mirror behind me

curiosity is over

he stepped down from the car

he pulled a gun from his jacket

said i was going to die

it gives me so much satisfaction

to watch you beg and cry

well i just made up this story

to get your attention makes me smile

i never looked up or looked

in the mirror behind me
