[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm sick of this, England's shit
It's pissing down, we are drowned
Star is here, drinking beer, Star is scrawled on my wall
The C.I.D., they follow me, I kidnap Star in my car
A TVR we'll drive to Prague and stop at Mars and we'll be
[Chorus]
Taking Star to LA
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit in the sun
And take it easy, take it easy, yeah
[Verse 2]
Mam's got cake, bellyache, feeling sick through Kuwait
Stole a tank, drove to France, star's amazed, in a trance
M53, hit a tree, crashed my car, I killed Star
Stowaway on a ship, dodge the pigs, what a trip
[Chorus]
Taking Star to LA
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit in the sun
And take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take it easy
Take it easy, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take it easy, oh yeah
