I couldn't tell my remote control from my phone Deep in the mainstream I still felt alone I only wanted to see the light But I was looking right At the darkness in the bottom of the hole One million pounds Wouldn't turn this car around One million pounds In my pocket, I'd turn it down I backed off from the blandishments and the bribes Peeled away the blindfold covering my eyes I'd been kneeling down to a tin god Paid in pennies for a dirty job They can keep it, now I'm going for a ride One million pounds Wouldn't turn this car around One million pounds In my pocket, I'd turn it down Tried out, found wanting, worthless Thrown aside, passed by, left for dead But if you scratch off the surface you see the gold Respond to the urging deep in your soul I'm going to drive out in the dead of night Through the roadblocks and red traffic lights I don't know where I will end up, but I know One million pounds Wouldn't turn this car around One million pounds In my pocket, I'd turn it down One million pounds Wouldn't turn this car around One million pounds Worth of nothing, I'd turn it down
