*** LYRICS ***
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It’s the only way to live
In carsHere in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In carsHere in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If I open my door
In carsHere in my car
I know I’ve started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars*** Released : August 1979 ***
According to Gary Numan, the song’s lyrics were inspired by an incident of road rage: “I was in traffic in London once and had a problem with some people in front. They tried to beat me up and get me out of the car. I locked the doors and eventually drove up on the pavement and got away from them. It’s kind of to do with that. It explains how you can feel safe inside a car in the modern world… When you’re in it, your whole mentality is different… It’s like your own little personal empire with four wheels on it”.
