\"Lyric<\/a>This week’s lyric is by Big Star, a band that remains a major influence on a huge number of today’s artists. The band broke up in 1974, shortly after the release of their second album, but reformed in 1993. They continued until Alex Chilton’s death in 2010.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Back of a Car<\/em><\/a> by Big Star<\/a> (from 1974’s Radio City<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Sitting in the back of a car<\/em>
Music so loud can’t tell a thing<\/em>
Thinking ’bout what to say<\/em>
I can’t find the lines<\/em>

You know I love you a lot<\/em>
I just don’t know, should I not?<\/em>
Waiting for a brighter day<\/em>
I can’t find a way<\/em>

I’ll go on and on with you<\/em>
Like to fall and lie with you<\/em>
I love you, too<\/em>

Baby, I’m too afraid<\/em>
I just don’t know if it’s okay<\/em>
Trying to get away<\/em>
From everything<\/em>

Why don’t you take me home<\/em>
It’s gone too far inside this car<\/em>
I know I’ll feel a whole lot more<\/em>
When I get alone<\/em>

I’ll go on and on with you<\/em>
Like to fall and lie with you<\/em>
I love you, too<\/em>

Sitting in the back of a car<\/em>
Music so loud can’t tell a thing<\/em>
Thinking ’bout what to say<\/em>
I can’t find the lines<\/em><\/p>\n
