about

That feeling when the annual roadworthiness test is coming up for your car or van, and you know you can't afford to fix it

lyrics

2 weeks to my MOT

v1
It’s a yearly surprise when it happens
it causes a bit of unrest
we’ll have to eat basic rations
the car’s due its annual test

v2
So I called in Camel Towing
I said it goes wrong when I go right
he said it looks like your gasket’s blowing
and the bill will be outta sight

ch
I’ve got 2 weeks to my MOT
won’t krishna please save me?
It seems I’ve come a cropper
I’ll be commuting on my space hopper

ch2
I know I should have saved ‘cus it’s not a big surprise
but it’s gone before I’ve been paid it

v3
At Roadkill Rogers my bigend was banging
I’m forlorn I no longer get the horn
he noticed my rear wipe was smudgy
and that even my glovebox is worn


v4
I called Almost Done Car Repairs
He said your flange is tired, I said I know
What are we doing about that squeak at the rear
Can you fix it but I’m out of dough

ch
I’ve got 2 weeks to my MOT
won’t keldoran please save me?
this car business is getting on my wick
I’ll be going to work on my pogo stick

ch2

v5
I roped in James, Cairn and Sam the man
I said car fixing party this Satdy
re bleeding nipples I’m not a fan
but we got it MOTd today

v6
the news shows a local mechanic
has been jailed for dealing drugs near and far
I’ve known him for years, it makes me sick
I had no clue he could fix my car

ch
I’ve got 2 weeks to my MOT
won’t ganesha please save me?
I’ve not got a pot to piss in mate
I’ll be going to work on roller skates
