1. Go Bus Baby Go

01 - Go Bus Baby Go by sodafountainrag

Go Bus Baby Go

Surely you trapped her

She’s longing more and more to leave

And not with another

Solitude knocks out your company

But how do you leave

When you don’t want no one to follow?

Pay cash, and then let the driver take you

To a less crappy tomorrow

You want her to stay

To hide her away

I told her to go

But you do not know

You can search hi’

You can search lo’

She’s thinking

Go Bus Baby Go!

You want her to stay

To hold her hand

You’ll keep her safe

From all that you can

You can search hi’

You can search lo’

She’s saying

Go Bus Baby Go!

What an adventure!

Snow falls outside the window

And all the streetlights

Follows her on her flight

She reads books by Jim Carroll

And Frank Miller

She feels no sorrow

Leans back whilst the driver takes her

To a less crappy tomorrow

This first song, Go Bus Baby Go, is based on an idea I got when travelling on the bus from Lillehammer to Bergen one easter holiday. The title is an homage to one of the really early Manic Street Preachers demos – a song that later became Motorcycle Emptiness. Two people in the whole world have figured this out by themselves – good boys! 

Øst-vest Xpressen going between Lillehammer and Bergen. For those of you who enjoy the feeling of the ass going to sleep. The bus is clearly in need of romanticising.
