Lyrics & Music by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea
|
Sitting here in my mean machine - I'm ready to explode
|
Looking out of my helmet at the faces
|
I been wondering all night long - If I will live or die
|
Yeah, it's always the same before the races
|
I got some hot line information
|
About the man who's occupation is driving the cars
|
Standing out there on the grid
|
And it's a kind of fascination - And it demands full concentration
|
The kind of a job
|
We all dreamed of as a kid
|
I can see on the track ahead - the heat is rising high
|
Gotta win for the team and it's never easy
|
I been feeling the butterflies - strapped into my seat
|
Yeah, and already the tension's getting to me
|
We're waiting in anticipation
|
For some official indication - They're ready to go
|
Revving up and hit the road
|
'Cause it's another big occasion
|
And there won't be no relaxation - They're ready to go
|
And they're Ready To Explode
|
You're gonna drive 'em round the bend
|
Have a go on the chicane
|
Gonna drive 'em round the bend
|
Without a warning - Ready Now To Explode
|
Who's gonna be the big sensation?
|
Who'll be the champion of the nation?
|
In one of them cars - Standing out there on the grid
|
He's gonna get a big ovation
|
Be the champion of the nation
|
The kind of a thrill we all dreamed of as a kid
|
I don't wanna break down
|
And I wanna explode
|
Don't let me break down
|
I wanna explode
|
Ever since I was just thirteen, I had a crazy, reoccuring dream
|
To be faster than the speed of sound
|
It was the only way to get around, oh yeah
|
(Speeding in my dreams)
|
Seventeen and I passed my test - Never settling for second best
|
I knew right away what I'd like
|
It was a 750 motorbike, oh yeah
|
(Speeding in my dreams)
|
I was living for speed
|
Explode
