about

Steve originally recorded this track with the Newtown Neurotics

lyrics

Think about the fat men
who wear their slippers to drive their cars,
while their machines are running, they won’t walk very far.
They never realise what they've got,
one day they will lose the lot because...

Chorus:
What’s gonna happen when the, buses don’t run?
And what’s gonna happen when the, winter comes?
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
When the oil runs out.

Think about the record industry,
they’ve released such a lot of,
self-indulgent pampered pop star’s, back catalogue.
It'll be far more drastic than no-more CD plastic because...

Chorus.

Are you prepared,
for such a drastic change in lifestyle?
You say "yeah", I don’t believe you,
look at your home, the things that you own,
the job that you work in, they all could go.

What about the tax exiles, who live in the sun?
When the oil runs out, they'll have no-where to run.
But what about the comfortable people,
who just can’t go without?
They're forever panic buying,
in case things run out.
They never realise what they've got, 
one day they will lose the lot because...

What’s gonna happen when,
cycling becomes a strain 
and you need a drop of 3 in 1,
on your, bicycle chain.

What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? 
When the oil runs out.

Are you prepared for such a drastic change in lifestyle?
You say "yeah" I don’t believe you,
look at your home,
the things that you own,
the job that you work in, they all could go.
