From under the hood
'There's hope for this puppy
Exclaims an arse crack atop greasy denim
Chrome spanner protrudes pocket at the ready
The Valiant's work in progress
While the license is on hold
Toil between Formula One
And armchair Rally Series
The trip home from the boozer
After Shumacher done it again
Being the demise
Nine month respite - from legal tooling
The Valiants look'n' promise'n' though
Another for spares, to keep the dog in
Need a cash injection, for stee@n'joints
And to cover the sky bill
There's a mile of parts here man
Rims, leafspdngs, doors or three, beer cans - bald tyres
Rusfn' crankshafts - to hold a setnet in the tide
Waste oil drums, two parts oil, one part rainwater
Arsecrack disappears, straightening
With a stretch, replaced by beerbelly
Hairy, pale - all paid for mate
Oiled fingers scratch a weeks stubble
Brown o'clock, the body autopilots
To the shed, fhdge - TV on top - beckons
Open the nudie girl clad door
Sundays supplies holding well
POP, ah nectar - fingers smear the tin
Sprong, down on the foetid couch
Amid internal combustion components
A finger stab at the remote, flicks the box on
King is going hard out in Belgium
Eyes gentle in the flicker of the screen
Mind on Valiant timing
Hand on a cold one
Missus Tucked off last week
Summer's on its way
Long evenings under the bonnet
Life's just too sweet
