Cartrouble Lyrics

have you ever had a ride in a light blue car?
have you ever stopped to think
who's the slave and who's the master?
have you ever had trouble with your
automobile?
have you ever had to
push push push push?

cartrouble
you might have seen them very busy at the
weekends licking and polishing the beep-
beeps into
shape and then its proudly up the M.1. M.2.
M.3.
and keep your feet off the upholstery Ronnie
cartrouble oh yeah
and remember this:-
you don't need anything after an icecream
I used to sit at home silently and wonder
why all the preference is polishing the
chrome
while all the mothers and the sisters and the
babies
sit and rot at home
cartrouble oh yeah
and remember this
you don't need anything after an icecream
car carcar trouble car carcar trouble ...

Cover art for Cartrouble lyrics by Adam Ant

I reckon it's about how people can become obsessed with their cars and that the said cars can be an absolute nightmare to use and look after. Don't think these lyrics are quite right though.

Don't think this song is about cars at all. There is definitely a double meaning... with lyrics about having a "ride" and not requiring anything after an ice cream... I'm sure Adam's mind was on other matters!
