Scared

from First by Kerry Logan

about

In 1991, I was picked up by a friend in his new car, a super-fast machine. He then proceeded to take me and several others to 170km/hr (in third gear) to which I politely asked to be removed from the vehicle. So shaken was I from that experience that I wrote the first song of my new life... this track is inspired by the dark sounds of Black Sabbath and went through several iterations until it sounded right, this recorded version not the last of those.

lyrics

When you’re behind the wheel you are possessed
You drive not to survive but to impress
The limit means shit to you
You’ve only got a job to do

Do you think you’re going a little to fast when you hear us scream?
If we played ‘Scare them witless’, you’d be on the winning team
Do you take your life for granted?
Can you think while your foot’s planted?

One day it will be over and we’ll all breath again
But until that day, you’ll drive like it ain’t ever going to end
When you’re driving at two hundred, is it you behind the wheel…
