Vera Drives Hue and Cry

Hey, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Three generations of girls leave their coffees to cool
Refusing all their forgiveness to shiny-trousered fools
Now Vera is making an effort, but she's hardly even sitting there
Men can only sin and burn you if you already have a care

Vera drives and she holds her car
Like a tightening fist on an iron bar
Vera is hardening her heart

Vera drives and Vera lives again, hey
Vera drives and Vera lives again, yeah, yeah

It was more like a dental extraction than a parting of the ways
Washed him out like old bad blood and relished the medical taste
From harsh to numb, she had travelled, found she preferred it that way
Turned her head in a traffic jam, saw a lipsticked lover's face

Vera drives and she holds her car
Like a tightening fist on an iron bar
Somebody's softening her heart

Vera drives and Vera lives again
If she sat in the road, they'd be missing her
Vera drives and Vera lives again
But she knows who should be kissing her
Vera drives and Vera lives again
