Miserable Truck Stops by John Finnemore Lyrics
[Spoken]
Good evening, truckers and trucker women
My name is Leigh Delamere, and here's a little ditty I wrote as I was running an eight-ton [?] full of wooden pallets and [?] to the Port of Tyne
[Intro]
Driving my lorry
I'm always so sorry
To stop for some fuel and a pie
The truck stops of Britain
Leave me far from smitten
And here are a few reasons why
[Verse 1]
The concrete curbs they’ve just put in at [?]
That always seem to bugger up your rims
The speed bumps down at Scratchwood that reduce your load to matchwood
And that pig’s ear of a slip road at South Mimms
The loading bays they have at Newton Pagnell
Are very near as frightful as the food
Go there in an artic, you will have a job to park it
In a rigid you are absolutely screwed
[Chorus]
Miserable truck stops, why so cruel to me?
All I want is coffee, a pasty, and a pee
How I hate the truck stops, all of them are crap
I’m no fan of Thurrock and I do mind Watford Gap, ha-ha
[Verse 2]
The sausage rolls at Kinross are kin’ dreadful
The sandwiches at Sandbach need a priest
And the pies they serve at Heston give you such bad indigestion
You will have it still at Liecester Forest East
[Chorus]
Miserable truck stops, why so cruel to me?
All I want is coffee, a pasty, and a pee
How I hate the truck stops where I stop my truck
If this is where the buck stops, then what a silly buck
Thank you very much
