The Lyrics
(Disclaimer:- it's just a comedy name - my wife & I'd like to state, there's no offence/confusion intended...that I'm NOT one of "them"!)
Slow Jim, Slow Jim
There's a rush that drives me deep inside
But each race ever I run in
Here I am in last again
I can see there's no-one behind
I'm so damn lonely
Cos I'm so far behind
I'm so damn lonely
Wanna shake off this tag of mine
Mayday, Mayday
Was Bristol born, Jan of '63
& since then, I've been driftin' away
Comin' last got it's grip on me
That's when I learned to drive
I've been in top gear
But I'm so far behind
I hate it when those two drone
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely
I hate it when those two drone
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely
They fly by, speedin'
People pass me by
No matter if you're Stig
No matter what you drive
Slow Jim, Slow Jim
There's a rush that drives me deep inside
But each race ever I drive in
Here I am in last again
I can see there's no-one behind
I've been in top gear
But I'm so far behind
I'm so damn lonely
Slow Jim, oh yeah (oh)
Some say I'm better known as Captain... Slow, yeah
There's a rush that drives me deep inside
But each race ever I run in
Here I am in last again
I can see there's no-one behind
I'm so damn lonely
Cos I'm so far behind
I'm so damn lonely
Wanna shake off this tag of mine
Mayday, Mayday
Was Bristol born, Jan of '63
& since then, I've been driftin' away
Comin' last got it's grip on me
That's when I learned to drive
I've been in top gear
But I'm so far behind
I hate it when those two drone
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely
I hate it when those two drone
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely
They fly by, speedin'
People pass me by
No matter if you're Stig
No matter what you drive
Slow Jim, Slow Jim
There's a rush that drives me deep inside
But each race ever I drive in
Here I am in last again
I can see there's no-one behind
I've been in top gear
But I'm so far behind
I'm so damn lonely
Slow Jim, oh yeah (oh)
Some say I'm better known as Captain... Slow, yeah
(17.9.21) Since 2018, the UK music buying public have made their Xmas #1 a 5th consecutive parody (now a record, surpassing the Beatles). Often, a new artist can announce their arrival with a particularly good cover, made uniquely their own. I'm no singer nor musician, so if you can perform this (or any of mine), please send me a version & lots of royalties!
