This song is about hate can be empowering and energising, albeit in a temporary and superficial way. cf Columbine, the Tea Party Movement, the Nazis, bad people.

lyrics

C D
You call me up
C D
And you call me again
C D Em
And you told me he was there
C D G
So I wrote a silly story in my head
C D B
Where everything I'd cut had never bled.
C D
And I can't sink or swim
Em D C
Or do anything oh.

Cos I am totem
You are Santa Lucia
We are both cracks in the sun
So I saw this picture in my mind
And figured there ain't much to leave behind
And I can't sink, or swim, or do anything oh.

G
Hate will be my motor car
G F# (C D)
I'll drive it where the city lights are blinding
G G7
And everyone I ever loved is on the street or up above
C
And I'm shining out to you?
Cm
What else could I do?

And when I reach you
And you reach out to me
And we see how much I shine
But I think it bears repeating one more time
That you don't know the glories in my mind
Cos I can't sink or swim
Or do anything oh

Hate will be my motor car
I'll drive it where the city lights are blinding
And everyone I ever loved
Is in the back, or up above
And I'm driving out to you?
And don't let all the mornings down
Cos by the night you'll alright won't you?
And tell the kids I was glorious
Tell em I was good and just and I did it just for you
Well what else could I do?

about

Dead Cars Brighton, UK

Dead Cars are 4 socially maladjusted men from Brighton who hang out and make wonky pop music. If they were cooler they'd have haircuts and lifestyles and dreadful taste in music. As it is they're awkward and a bit angry and so write tunes about murdering the neighbours and owning too many sofas.
