Lyrics for Grey Cortina

Wish I had a grey Cortina Whiplash aerial, racing trim Cortina owner - no one meaner Wish that I could be like him Twin exhaust and rusty bumper Chewing gum at traffic light Stop at red but leave on amber Grey Cortina outa sight Wish I had a grey Cortina Whiplash aerial, racing trim Cortina owner - no one meaner Wish that I could be like him Furlined seats and lettered windscreen Elbow on the windowsill Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen Bomber jacket, dressed to kill Wish I had a grey Cortina Whiplash aerial, racing trim Cortina owner - no one meaner Wish that I could be like him Never cop a parking ticket Never seem to show its age Speed police too slow to nick it Grey Cortina got it made Wish I had a grey Cortina Whiplash aerial, racing trim Cortina owner - no one meaner Wish that I could be like him
