  • It really was a meeting
    The bottle took a beating
    The ladies of the manor
    Watched me climb into my car and
    I was going down the track about a hundred and five
    They had the stop-watch rolling
    I had the headlights blazing I was really alive
    And yet my mind was blowing
    I drank a bottle of tequila and I feel real good
    I had the tape deck roaring
    But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn
    I went of exploring
    I knew I wouldn't make it the car just wouldn't make it
    I was turning tires burning
    The ground was in my sky
    I was laughing the bitch was trashed
    And death was in my eye

    I had started pretty good and I was feeling my way
    I had the wheels in motion
    There was Peter and the Green fly laughing like drains
    Inebriation
    The crowd was roaring I was at Brands Hatch
    In my imagination
    But at the canal turn I hit an only patch
    Inebriation

    Ooh Mr. Miracle you saved me from some pain
    I thank you Mr. Miracle I won't get trashed again
    Ooh can you hear my lies
    Don't you bother with this fool just laugh into my eyes

    So we went back to the bar and hit the bottle again
    But there was no tequila
    Then we started on the whiskey just to steady our brains
    'Cause there was no tequila
    And as we drank a little faster at the top of our hill
    We began to roll
    And as we get trashed we were laughing still
    Well bless my soul Writer/s: ANTHONY IOMMI, IAN GILLAN, TERENCE BUTLER, W.T. WARD
