Mileage Chart -

I was about to buy de-icer

Check the pressure on my tyres

Burn a country compilation

Take Elaine to Mr Squires'

But how sincere were my intentions?

Was it all a rush of blood?

Without a friend around to guide me

It was you who understood

Those travel sweets so hard to open

The matrix sign near Arley Hall

To use or not to use the toll road

‘cos after Stoke it starts to crawl

And it crawls

And I’d be far from overkeen

Based upon those calculations

I stayed at home

You showed me distance in between

Mileage chart

It’s good you’re here to intervene

Mileage chart

I think you’ve changed the way I feel

Concrete heart

You showed me Ullapool to Deal

Mileage chart

In limiting my aspirations

A quiet happiness ensues

I never tried to reach for the stars

I never had platform shoes

Should I get too enthusiastic

Should my head begin to spin

Your brutal numerals appal me

And quickly douse the flame within

Armageddon notwithstanding

In Lower Nowhere I will stay

For higher calling and tomorrow

I couldn’t give an ETA

Come what may

I know you’ll never let me down

I looked across and found the answer

It’s six three five

I’ve got the distance in between

Mileage chart

Nobody knows what might have been

Mileage chart

The motive now is solid steel

Climate change

You’ve gone and locked my steering wheel
