Sitting Targets Peter Hammill

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
We can talk about it in the car;
We can talk about it with the drive
Keep your eyes on the road up ahead
Don't forget what we said about staying alive
If we'd been stuck just a few hours more
I'd have cracked up, I'd say
No, you never can tell when it's coming;
It's so hard getting out of the way;
To be sitting targets is surely
No better than running away...

[Chorus]
Sitting targets in the car
I'll be thinking about it –
Not so far to, not so far to
Not so far to drive
Not so far to drive

[Verse 2]
Ooh, this time we made our getaway
We'd been stalling for too long
Keep your eyes on the road up ahead (Oh yeah)
While I try to forget what's been going wrong
What's been going on...
Oh, you'd better check up on the CB (Oh, you'd better check up on the CB)
See what Tail-End Charlie say:
"Oh you never can tell how it's going
No, you never can see how it's been
But to stay sitting targets is surely
No better than living a dream"
