Just when you thought we've dissected popular music to shreds, comes Euro 21 group stages dross and makes you find yet one more overlooked angle.

For me:

"Is there Gas in the car???"

    Think there's an easy winner for this:

    Our one source of energy
    The ultimate discovery
    Electric blue for me
    Never more to be free
    Electricity
    Nuclear and HEP
    Carbon fuels from the sea
    Wasted electricity

    Locomotion took us there and back
    We kept our heads, we laid our track
    Pedestrian wait!

    The power of steel automation
    Turn the key for mass ignition
    Pedestrian wait!

    Airplanes buzz like Asian flu
    Jumbo junks on Airfix glue
    Spaceships built for leisure cruise
    Baby's feet in brand new shoes

    Sunday cleaning chrome and steel
    A man-made god, the automobile
    Pedestrian wait!

    Ford protect us in this race
    To find another parking space
    Pedestrian wait!

    Now you know it takes you nowhere
    Now there's nowhere left to go
    Every road leads to another
    Juggernaut noise and petrol fumes

    To make one mile of motorway
    Pedestrian wait!

    Don't breathe the air, it's full of lead
    Baby's sick, baby's dead
    Pedestrian wait!

    Now I've got my head screwed on
    And my boots are both laced p
    Don't want to be a precinct puppet
    I'm going to walk just where I choose

    Simon & Garfunkel - A most peculiar man. 

    He died last Saturday. 
    He turned on the gas 
    And he went to sleep
    with the windows closed so he’d never wake up. 


    Guns ‘n’ roses - Night train. 

    I’m a mean machine,
    Been drinking gasoline 
    And honey you could make my motor hum
