lyrics

The confidence within you
And almost justified
The vengeance you were seeking
On those who'd victimised
Heads that turn behind you
Pupils that dilate
What desire's betrayed through
Leaving no mistake

But something under the bonnet
Didn't want to get on it
Oh no, oh no
Something under the bonnet
Didn't want what you wanted
Oh no, oh no

This nymph who sways before you
Young eyes burning bright
All that deprivation
She could make it right

But something under the bonnet
Didn't want to get on it
Oh no, oh no
Something under the bonnet
Made you strangely myopic
Oh no, oh no

Is it fear of success
Or fear of failure?
Call it fear
Is it set in your bones
Or in your memories?
From those years
At the start of the track
And you remain there

Corrosion setting in soon
Decay brings clarity
You feel the now or never
With burning urgency

Still something under the bonnet
Doesn't want to get on it
Oh no, oh no
Something under the bonnet
Wants it all to be squandered
Oh no, oh no
And what lies under the bonnet
Is it safe to uncover?
Uh-oh, uh-oh
What lies under the bonnet
Dare we shine a light on it?
Uh-oh, uh-oh

What lies under the bonnet
Dare we shine a light on it?
