Stickshifts And Safetybelts Lyrics
stickshifts and safetybelts,
bucket seats have all got to go.
when we're driving in the car,
it makes my baby seem so far.
i need you here with me,
not way over in a bucket seat.
i need you to be here with me,
not way over in a bucket seat.
but when we're driving in my malibu,
it's easy to get right next to you.
i say, "baby, scoot over, please."
and then she's right there next to me.
i need you here with me,
not way over in a bucket seat.
i need you to be here with me,
not way over in a bucket seat.
well a lot of good cars are japanese.
but when we're driving far,
i need my baby,
i need my baby next to me.
well, stickshifts and safetybelts,
bucket seats have all got to go.
when we're driving in the car,
it makes my baby seem so far.
i need you here with me,
not way over in a bucket seat.
i need you to be here with me,
not way over in a bucket seat.
Haha, I highly doubt there's ANY symbolism or hidden meanings here (if there are, Cake has yet again proven its genius). It's just about how he doesn't like cars where his girlfriend is all the way over in a bucket seat when he wants her right next to him. <shrugs> Just my opinion, of course. =D
Come ON... this is an ol' 50s Rockabilly throwback.. driving in his Malibu, cuddling with his girlfriend.. shit, they're probably about to go see a Drive-In movie
This song makes me want to dance. Nice little groove.
this song is a classic and it's one of my favorites
My boyfriends car has bucket seats. Its always a problem with the emergency brake right in the middle of us. I put this on a mix for him and we sing it whenever we're in the car. I miss him so much.. I'm at college...I even miss his bucket-seated Saturn.
it sounds like these things always get in the way when sex happens in a car, they make it a lot harder than it should be, but its a great song and cake always confuses me.
for some reason I thought this song was a cover...it just sounds so retro...
this song makes me really miss my first car... an '85 Dodge Aries. Damn I had some good times in that front seat. Hah!
something about visualising john mcrea in that trucker cowboy hat from the 'never there' video and hearing this song just makes me laff and laff, so obviously the anti-redneck, and yet he makes me feel justified when i wear my own ironic cowboy hat out at night with a western shirt. who says fashion can't be fun?
Yeah, I agree with Immortal. No sex stuff, I really think this is just a cute song about a guy being upset because he can't cuddle with her. SOME PEOPLE still do that you know!
