I go driving in the night I've become a baby chauffeur
Been demoted from a bloke to a sleep inducing gopher
My eyes are ringed with black their cries are getting frantic
Life was so much simpler when I was a new romantic
Glancing in the rear view I can see you start to settle
but then you turn a purple hue and start screaming heavy metal
It's fine because I love you and would never trade your mother
but in future I'll be abstinent or double up the rubber
Where am I now? What is my name?
Are these my kids? Am I insane?
Driiiive all night
It's hard this child rearing
Keep gear changes light
in a bid to calm their breathing
It's a sleep loss violation that leads to desperation
My last hope of salvation is this gentle car vibration
He's a family man with two babies on board
His wallet's had a puncture since he cut the cord
This is the least amount of sleep that he'll ever have
such is the fate of a first time dad
It sometimes seems ironic as I binge on radio 4
The one fun act that got me here I don't get that anymore
I'm looking forward to the peace when you're a little older
No more urine on my trainers no more vomit on my shoulder
In the shower, I stand there and stare into the lather
I'm pondering my life will I turn into my father?
You've ruined all my favourite clothes and peed inside my bedding
but I know I'll get my own back when I'm dancing at your wedding
Where am I now? What is my name?
Is that my face? Where is my brain?
Driiiive all night
trying to stop them bawling
These kids, they rule my life
and now my wife is calling
It's a sleep loss violation that leads to desperation
My last hope of salvation is this gentle car vibration
He's mistaken wind for contented smiles
Driving round the bend and clocking up the miles
He knows the open road like the back of hand
But his own bed at home is like the promised land
(Dad so confused he thinks the universe, Kate Bush and a unicorn have collapsed in on themselves and ended up inside his car)
Close your eyes (Baby) Go to sleep..... Close your eyes
Where am I now what is my name
What have I done? Have I gone insane?
