Bad Brakes Lyrics By Cat Stevens

    bad brakes whole car shakes
    looks like i’m heading for a breakdown
    black smoke engine beginning to choke
    i must be heading for a breakdown

    down at samuel’s cafe
    saw a little spanish lady coming over
    said lady are you going my way
    she said olay with your

    bad brakes carburettor shakes
    looks like you’re heading for a breakdown
    black smoke engine beginning to choke
    we must be heading for a breakdown

    we hit the road at 90 miles an hour
    heading for ‘frisco bay’
    she said senor you got cop on your shoulder
    i said oh now we’d better not stay
    now we got to get away with our

    bad brakes carburettor shakes
    looks like we’re heading for a breakdown

    he was catching up nose right inside our mirror

    he said don’t you know you got

    bad brakes carburettor shakes
    looks like you bought yourself a breakdown
    black smoke engine beginning to choke
    and you’ve got yourself a breakdown

    bad brakes engine beginning to shake
    looks like we got ourselves a breakdown
    black smoke engine beginning to choke
    we got ourselves a breakdown
