Like A Motorway Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Cagniolini 

Cover art for Like A Motorway lyrics by Saint Etienne

Couldn't it be "frail hostess" instead of the apparently meaningless "thrill"?

And I saw a video of a live performance and it is quite clear how Sarah utters "pebbles" instead of "petals".

Anyway, terrific song, haunting lyrics.
