Cat Stevens - Bad Brakes lyrics

bad brakes whole car shakes

looks like i'm heading for a breakdown

black smoke engine beginning to choke

i must be heading for a breakdown

i pulled up for a mouth of coca-cola

down at Samuel's cafe

saw a little spanish lady coming over

said "lady are you going my way" she said "o-lay"

bad brakes carburettor shakes

looks like you're heading for a breakdown

black smoke engine beginning to choke

we must be heading for a breakdown

we hit the road at 90 miles an hour

heading for 'Frisco Bay

she said "Senor you got cop on your shoulder"

i said "oh now we'd better not stay

we got to get away with our

bad brakes carburettor shakes

looks like we're heading for a breakdown"

he was catching up nose right inside our mirror

when the motor blowed

we climbed out and she began to shiver

oh no sir please let us go

he said "don't you know you got

bad brakes carburettor shakes

looks like you bought yourself a breakdown

black smoke engine beginning to choke

and you've got yourself a breakdown"

bad brakes engine beginning to shake

looks like we've got ourselves a breakdown

black smoke engine beginning to choke

we got ourselves a breakdown
