Kinks - A Gallon Of Gas Lyrics
Ive been waiting for years to buy a brand new cadillacBut now that Ive got one I want to send it right backI cant afford the gas to fill my luxury limousineBut even if I had the dough no ones got no gasolineI went to my local dealer to see if he could set me straightHe said theres a little gas going but Id have to waitBut he offered some red hot speed and some really high grade hashBut a gallon of gas cant be purchased anywhere for any amount of cashI can score you some coke and some grade one grassBut I cant get a gallon of gasIve got some downers some speed all the drugs that you needBut I cant get a gallon of gasTheres no more left to buy or sellTheres no more oil left in the wellA gallon of gas cant be purchased anywhereFor any amount of cashTwo extra verses from long version:I love your body-work, but youre really no useHow can I drive you when I got no juice?Because its stuck in neutral and my engines got no speedAnd the highways are desertedAnd the air smells unnaturally clean.Its got power-assisted overdrive and carpets on the floor,But its parked out front just like a dead dinosaur.And Ill be paying off the bank for 45 years or more.It should go 100 miles an hour,But its never moved away from my door.Who needs a car and a seven-forty-sevenWhen you cant buy a gallon of gasWho needs a highway, an airport or a jetWhen you cant get a gallon of gasTheres no more left to buy or sellTheres no more oil left in the wellA gallon of gas cant be purchased anywhereFor any amount of cashYou cant buy a gallon of gas
