Midlife Crisis Things fall off in the night I don’t feel alright My hair is a sight I’m gonna set it right Yeah we’ll get the band back together And we’ll do it again And never say never Don’t wanna know ‘bout your home renovations Don’t want to cultivate vegetation I just want to rock Till it’s 10 o’clock And stay up till late And sleep in till 8 I gotta mid-life crisis I’m on my knees A midlife crisis Baby please A midlife crisis I’m on my own My Blood pressure’s boiling My joints need oil I got high Cholesterol I got down on my knees for a solo But I can’t get up again, oh no. I gotta mid-life crisis It’s really sad A midlife crisis I’m someone’s dad A midlife crisis Another night at home An autopsy drama The wife wants a farmer

Redstar 03:20
I’ll tell you ‘bout my one desire It’s a redstar Motorcar, yeah She starts with a push behind her She’s got four on the floor It’s a big sound with the muffler down I’ll come round We’ll set the road on fire Well I’m an M1100 driver She’ll go far Rev the redstar We’ll jump front and back and drive her Solenoid’s gone Bang sure it’s on I parked on the hill so we don’t get stuck And walk down now and pick you up Redstar She’s got hydrolastic suspension, and an east-west engine A chrome hub M, with a red- white trim Its 1988, I pull up to your gate So come on along, because she’s 21 Got the AM radio on Clutch start bang and we’re gone

Your chiffon glove your starshot eye calls upon the moon and sky You take your hand your crossed hand fate upon the moon again Honey, the night is young and you're a Bouvier You take your hand across the land fate upon the moon again Honey, the night is young and you're a Bouvier

about

The Morris 1100 deliver new directions in old, with their debut 5-track EP ‘Midlife Crisis’. Combining sixties beats with a modern twist, low-tide surf guitars, keyboard freakouts, wry lyrics and the occasional flash of French pop art, illuminating dusky Antipodean highways.

about

The Morris 1100 Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne band The Morris 1100 like first cars, old loves and new, grainy super-eights, chiffon gloves, starshot eyes, east- west engines, summer highways, Jacqueline Bouvier and old stories that improve on the seventh telling.

The Morris 1100 previously appeared as a late ’60s automobile, and were produced by British Leyland.
