Shitbox Lyrics

We stick the keys in the ignition

Hear the whole street bitching

They just sitting round itching

For the day I come around and get rid of this shit tin

Well in the meantime they're dreaming! Cause I'ma drive around

In my own home town until the

Engine start ticking and the miles keep clicking while this shit heap's still kicking

But thanks for sticking around

'Cause this bad boy's here to stay and make it all the way to the next service bay

She's leaking oil with a misfiring piston

Backfire out the back three inch exhaust sounds like a rattling tin can

The ac doesn't work and I'm pretty sure the radiator even needs replacing

Turn the radio up to drown the horrible movement

What'd you say? Yeah the bucket seats are loosely fitted!

Just hold on tight and feel the world spin we're going for a hot lap come on in!

Yeah I drive a shitbox

All you hear is rod knock

You should see the miles on the clock

Coming round down from the block

Yeah I drive a shitbox

All you hear is rod knock

You should see the miles on the clock

Coming round down from the block

I got it from Japan man

In nineteen-ninety seven

Had real big plans man

Now I'm sitting here with my head in my hands man... God damn

I mean I love this thing! Nah, I hate it!

Love hate love hate!

Should have bought a V eight

With low Ks, air con, leg space, maybe just a little bass!

Something a little better than a four-speed hatch back with a straight pipe cat-back

Going to a car meet, Reddle Road South Street

Terminator style! I'll be back in a minute and you'll know it when you hear it

The sound of my exhaust

Popping down the road followed by a blown gasket

Wheel bearing rust and a squealing brake pad

Driver dash lit up like a Christmas tree!

Abs, Oil Temp and a flashing battery

I'm pretty sure the engine light bulb's blown out

And the fuel light man, I'm getting sick of looking at that little bowser!

All you hear is rod knock

You should see the miles on the clock

Coning round down from the block

Yeah I drive a shitbox

All you hear is rod knock

You should see the miles on the clock

Coning round down from the block

You see I've had this thing for four years or five.

I'm here in my garage with some cheap tools and a Corona lime...

I'm just here on a Friday night

While my mates are out partyin'

I'm pulling it a part again

The thing won't start again

Damn what's the point man?

I'm noticing these days all the young teenagers are

Driving around in their brand new Mercs when you know they're dirt poor it's like...

How do you afford...

A car like that? While I own an old nineties rustbox that I can't seem to get rid of

Look I'll throw it up for sale this week man I promise!

I've listed everything you need to know but I'll be honest

The rego runs out in a month and the timing belt's looking kinda rough

It goes well for a car with three hundred on the clock

A welded diff and some cheap shocks!

On a cold start, you'll hear some engine knock

Five thousand dollars and it's all yours but hey!

It's the most fun car you'll ever own

Don't lowball me bro... I know what I've got! Yeah I drive a shitbox!

All you hear is rod knock

You should see the miles on the clock

Coning round down from the block

Yeah I drive a shitbox

All you hear is rod knock

You should see the miles on the clock

Coning round down from the block
