All Night Petrol Lyrics
Come on baby, take me to your heart,
just take a ride up in my car.
I'll just refuel before we start,
The day is night before we park.
What about the living?
What about the dead?
You think you got no place to go,
and your daddy's kicked you on the road.
You need a lover, not a foe,
So you'll just relax, a night alone.
What about the living?
What about the dead?
So you think your boot is plain hell,
all night petrol beats you with its smell.
You take your ???
toss them on the floor , and we ???
What about the living?
What about the dead?
You want me now,
you let me go,
you must say no,
oh, baby.
So you think your boot is plain hell,
all night petrol beats you with its smell.
You take your ???
toss them on the floor , and we ???
What about the living?
What about the dead?
just take a ride up in my car.
I'll just refuel before we start,
The day is night before we park.
What about the dead?
and your daddy's kicked you on the road.
You need a lover, not a foe,
So you'll just relax, a night alone.
What about the dead?
all night petrol beats you with its smell.
You take your ???
toss them on the floor , and we ???
What about the dead?
you let me go,
you must say no,
oh, baby.
all night petrol beats you with its smell.
You take your ???
toss them on the floor , and we ???
What about the dead?

This track is about runaway reckless escapism, telling of a couple fleeing their families in the name of love at a young age. At first, they enjoy finding solace in the chaotic world of the night and the escape it offers from their troubles during the day, but soon rethink about how this affects others and their loved ones. The metaphor of "all night petrol" refers to their obsession with the wild and unstable aspects of their relationship. By the end, one is uncertain if this is what the other wants or if this relationship should or could last.
