  • Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him

    Twin exhaust and rusty bumper
    Chewing gum at traffic light
    Stop at red but leave on amber
    Grey Cortina outa sight

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him

    Furlined seats and lettered windscreen
    Elbow on the windowsill
    Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen
    Bomber jacket, dressed to kill

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him

    Never cop a parking ticket
    Never seem to show its age
    Speed police too slow to nick it
    Grey Cortina got it made

    Wish I had a grey Cortina
    Whiplash aerial, racing trim
    Cortina owner - no one meaner
    Wish that I could be like him Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
