Revision as of 16:16, 28 September 2005
Driver was recorded around 1982-83 era.
Though Driver was never officially released, it has come to light on many bootlegs, such as Acoustics From The Beehive. It has been speculated at that this would perhaps have been a Sisters single.
The lyrics are mostly concerned with how the band will pile into a car, wind the windows down, and fly along the public highway, yeilding reason to speed and power.
The first two lines later became the first two lines of Heartland.
The music is original, as opposed to Dance On Glass.
An instrumental version of this song has surfaced on some bootlegs, named "Candle". This version is far superior to the recording quality of Driver.
Lyrics
Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me
Call me weird and call me Friday
Call me when the sun goes down
We will find a public highway
We will wind the windows down
Call me at the magic hour
When the morals run to ground
Effects yeild to speed and power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round
Life is short and life is cruel
But we have fear and we have fuel
We are never coming down
Drench the future on the glass
Lines across the middle
And the mountain places, ever faster
Rushing through the shame and shadow
While the pleasure flashes past
The sound that fills the big black cars
Is ours, the drum machines and fast guitars
But use your mad acceleration
We are never coming down
We will live forever
While the wheels go wheeling round and round
Call me weird and call me Friday
Call me when the sun goes down
We will fly along the highway
We will wind the windows down
Call me at the magic hour
When the morals run to ground
Reason yeilds to speed and power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round
