I'm In Love With My Car
Queen Lyrics

Oh
Expressing excitement and awe at the perfection of his car

The machine of a dream
The car is a perfect and idealized machine

Such a clean machine
The car is immaculately maintained and cared for

With the pistons a-pumpin'
As the engine revs, the pistons create a rhythmic pumping sound

And the hubcaps all gleam
Even the small details, like the hubcaps, are shiny and beautiful

When I'm holding your wheel
Controlling the car is a very hands-on and intimate experience

All I hear is your gear
The sound of the car's gears shifting is all-encompassing and thrilling

With my hand on your grease gun
Masturbatory imagery suggesting his intense love for the car

Mmm, it's like a disease, son
His love for the car is all-consuming and even addictive

I'm in love with my car
He feels a deep emotional attachment to his car

Got a feel for my automobile
He enjoys the sensation of driving his car

Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar
The roll bar provides a sense of control and confidence while driving fast

Such a thrill when your radials squeal
The sound of his car's tires screeching is exhilarating

Told my girl I'll have to forget her
His love for his car is so strong that it outweighs his love for his girlfriend

Rather buy me a new carburetor
He would rather spend his money on improving his car than on his relationship

So she made tracks saying this is the end now
His girlfriend leaves him because she can't compete with his love for his car

Cars don't talk back they're just four-wheeled friends now
He prefers the company of his car over that of other people because his car is always there for him

When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Driving the car at high speeds is a thrilling and exciting experience

Don't have to listen to no run-of-the-mill talk jive
He doesn't have to deal with mundane or boring conversations while driving his car

String back gloves in my automo-love
He loves his car so much that he even wears special gloves to protect the steering wheel when he drives
