Warm Leatherette Lyrics
Warm Leatherette,
See the breaking glass,
In the underpass.
Warm Leatherette,
Hear the crashing steel,
Feel the steering wheel.
Warm Leatherette,
Melts on your burning flesh,
You can see your reflection,
On the luminescent dash.
Warm Leatherette,
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
The hand brake,
Penetrates your thigh.
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
Quick let's make love,
Before we die.
On Warm Leatherette,
Join the carcrash set.
See the breaking glass,
In the underpass.
Hear the crashing steel,
Feel the steering wheel.
Melts on your burning flesh,
You can see your reflection,
On the luminescent dash.
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
The hand brake,
Penetrates your thigh.
Is in your eye,
Quick let's make love,
Before we die.
Join the carcrash set.

This song is inspired by J.G. Ballard's novel Crash, about the sexual possibilities of car accident trauma.
It's hard to overstate the importance this track had on the development of New Wave music. She is overlooked these days, but I think she and David Byrne are the parents of New Wave.
