Текст песни The Kinks - A Gallon Of Gas

Текст:

I've been waiting for years to buy a brand new cadillac But now that I've got one I want to send it right back I can't afford the gas to fill my luxury limousine But even if I had the dough no one's got no gasoline I went to my local dealer to see if he could set me straight He said there's a little gas going but I'd have to wait But he offered some red hot speed and some really high grade hash But a gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere for any amount of cash I can score you some coke and some grade one grass But I can't get a gallon of gas I've got some downers some speed all the drugs that you need But I can't get a gallon of gas There's no more left to buy or sell There's no more oil left in the well A gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere For any amount of cash Two extra verses from long version: I love your body-work, but you're really no use How can I drive you when I got no juice? Because it's stuck in neutral and my engine's got no speed And the highways are deserted And the air smells unnaturally clean. It's got power-assisted overdrive and carpets on the floor, But it's parked out front just like a dead dinosaur. And I'll be paying off the bank for 45 years or more. It should go 100 miles an hour, But it's never moved away from my door. Who needs a car and a seven-forty-seven When you can't buy a gallon of gas Who needs a highway, an airport or a jet When you can't get a gallon of gas There's no more left to buy or sell There's no more oil left in the well A gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere For any amount of cash You can't buy a gallon of gas
