Edwyn Collins - The Wheels of Love lyrics

Tom was a lush with a crush on a girl named Rene At evening his longing would turn to object dismay Evil comes in many guises many shapes and many sizes It's in the bottle it's in the gla** That falls to the floor with a sickening crash He needs her right now And he wants her and now He's got a nation to set the wheels of love in motion Tom took a drive to the dive where he drank every day He looked up askance when by chance in walked Rene She sat down beside him indulged him a little Bowling him over like a skittle But feeling certain that she was bored He lowered his eyes to the swirling floor He needs her right now And he wants her and how He's got a nation to set the wheels of love in motion Now tom don't need no keepsake To remember that girl by If they mention her in pa**ing He'll turn his head and sigh He's got a nation to set the wheels of love in motion A drunken nation to set the wheels of love in motion
