“It was written in 1996. It sounds like Oasis. The lyrical idea comes from the Yorkie chocolate bar. They had an ad for it in the late 70’s or early 80’s that said something like ‘big enough for the truck driver and his mate.’ I thought this was a curiously homoerotic way of selling a chocolate bar”...
[Verse 1]
Parked inside the lay-by
Their destination can wait
Dancing in the moonlight
The truck-driver and his mate
[Verse 2]
Acting out of compulsion
After hours sitting in the van
Taking coals to Newcastle
Talking man to man
Loyal to the point of madness
Solemn as an act of fate
Dancing in the moonlight
The truck-driver and his mate
[Interlude]
[Outro]
The truck-driver and his mate
The truck-driver and his mate
The truck-driver and his mate
The truck-driver and his mate
(If it makes you feel good)
The truck-driver and his mate
The truck-driver and his mate
(If it makes you feel good)
The truck-driver and his mate
The truck-driver...
