About the Artist
Lyrics
Drive to the forest in a Japanese car The smell of rubber on country tar Hindsight done me no good Standing naked in this back of the woods The cassette played poptones I can't forget the impression you made You left a hole in the back of my head I don't like hiding in this foliage and peat It's wet and I'm losing my body heat The cassette played poptones This bleeding heart Looking for bodies Nearly injured my pride Praise picnicking in the British countryside Poptones
