The “442” in question in this song’s title is an Oldsmobile 442, which was produced in Detroit, Michigan.
There are also several references to another Michigan-Born, Iggy Pop, whom the band was touring with just before they recorded this album.
Detroit 442 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know he can't be tested, he can't be read or found
Urban grey takes breath away, he wants to push his pedal to the ground
And the night's what's right, puts him at the wheel
Well, I eat danger, any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O, dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
[Verse 2]
This town's a concrete factory and Dad and Mum look just like me
I'm on the plant assembly line. Too late now. Too far behind
You said you want to hang around, no-one really cares where you go
Take your time. Things never change
[Bridge]
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
In Detroit 442, maybe, baby, I could ride with you
[Outro]
One more to market, one more piggie, and they all, they all look just like me, yeah
