Saint Etienne - Burnt Out Car Lyrics






A simple good morning
Or hello would have done
The silence 10 am
Not my idea of fun
The papers the photos
Things were found in the fire

Something that you said
The look upon your face
Something in the way you hold me
I know what they say
I know what this means
I know that you never told me

A change of hair colour
Clairol Baby-Blond
I'm not quite used to it
It never takes too long
No makeup, no earrings
Nothing to identify me
...

Saint Etienne Burnt Out Car Comments
  1. O.... M....

    Saint Etienne or Vitas - who wore it better?

  2. A.... M....

    dedicated to C.

  3. A.... J....

    Sounds like Russian techno-pop! Yech!

  4. c.... ....

    throwback

  5. E.... T....

    This is done by the same production team as the Xenomania Mix. I agree, though, that the Balearico Mix from 'Casino Classics' is much better.

  6. E.... T....

    Thank you for chiming in. There are many of us that appreciate the entire catalogue. 'Burnt Out Car' is one of their best.

  7. k.... ....

    A car crash. Bob Stanley knew what he was doing at the start ... but this is just pure bollocks. In fact up to So Tough = gold, beyond that = not good.

  8. m.... ....

    Outfuckinstanding!!! Classic Sarah - 'nough said. ;)

  9. j.... ....

    How could you think this was the real video?

  10. R.... S....

    Balearico Mix off the "Casino Classics" LP/ remixes compilation released in 1996

  11. a.... ....

    what a tune. another st etienne classic.

  12. E.... J....

    love this song!!!love Saint Etienne!!!

  13. J.... M....

    What mix is this? I've got the Xenomania mix off LONDON CONVERSATIONS but this is even better!

  14. I.... ....

    My all-time favorite Saint Etienne song. A real "dancefloor tragedy" song.

    Thanks for the vid. :D

  15. C.... M....

    I like the concept, unusual, thought it was the real video ;)

  16. r.... ....

    BRIlliant Song!

  17. T.... ....

    Super music:)))Poland

  18. m.... ....

    I used old photos taken from the time that I first heard Burnt Out Car on import releases -- the late 90s -- and scanned them into digital collages and slideshows that I thought would best suit the verses and choruses of the song. You could say that there are loose narratives if you want to look deeper, but much like St Et songs, feeling is the focus.

  19. E.... ....

    Was there an 'official' video to this release? That said, I like what you've done with the pics here. Is there any connection between them or are they just randomly selected?

  20. c.... ....

    brit pop always fabulous but how come on the british charts are full of shitty hiphop and brainless groove!!!

  21. H.... C....

    Saint Etienne RULES! :)

  22. s.... ....

    Awesome, thanks for sharing this!

  23. b.... b....
