lyrics

Got myself a new car

Or at least it was new to me

Bought it from a friend of mine

and it's got some history

It's dented up on the outside

The inside's falling apart

Put my key in the ignition

It wouldn't even start

CHORUS;

Like spilling some salt underneath a ladder

Or Stepping on a pavement crack

I should have known from the broken wing mirror

It's nothing but bad luck that Black cat Cadillac

The roof’s got more holes than Swiss cheese

So I get wet in the rain

The motor started burning some oil one day

More smoke than a steaming train

No air conditioning means that I get

Cooked on a sunny day

A delivery van backed into the door

Then he just drove away

CHORUS

Someone ran up the back of me

When I was sitting at a red light

Now the back window rattles and

the boot won't open or close just right

It floated down a flooded street

and the interior flooded as well

I bet the Devil's laughing

cos I bought the car from Hell

CHORUS x 2
