Lowlands - The Stranglers

Driving through the lowlands with the rain upon my face

Sparkes has got the brandy and were picking up the pace

Whole world seems in motion, body clock peculiar

That’s the way we do things when we move from place to place

Been mobile now for hours and I can’t make out my feet

Tarmac black refecltive on the north side of the street

Time to stoke the fires, spray flies from the tyers

Starts to get hypnotic like it’s knocking out a beat

Louis went in for coffee, came back a guru

All the muscles in flanders couldn’t do for our crew

Work is done and where on our way

Listen close and you can here them say

Halle halle alles Louis

So Big Knight, don’t you slow down or we’ll never make it back

Need to reach the shore line long before the chasing pack

Up again at sunrise, spooky how the time flies

Sleep’s a distant cousin when you’re on the beaten track
