So what exactly are you saying
You'd like to live your life between the sheets
And no destination
The hours getting way past getting late
Defy the public opinion
You're talking big it comes too easily
I'm not prepared to entertain
You salivate when someone tells it straight

Young enough to always push your luck
I keep my fingers crossed you keep them up

Got a reason to get up this morning
Got inspired by the fear of being last
Don't deny your criminal past

So what exactly are ya saying
You'd like to live your life by talking cheap
It's no consolation
The hours getting way past getting late
And so it's time to forget all the people
There's too much to regret
But now it's carved in stone
You should just hang up the phone forever
You've been arrested and you've been inspected
But you're...

    General Comment:I agree. I just got their latest album, it's excellent. Definitely better stuff to come though, once they get settled. Much like Grinspoon I'm guessing... they seem to be getting better and better.

    General Comment:motor ace kick arse, but the thing I don't understand is why there havn't been more people who have visited this site becasue they are the coolest band out. Their not one hit wonders with only a couple of good songs under there belt, there extremly good artists with a very well known CD and the real motor ace fans will know this as their whole CD is awesome.
