This is probably pretty redundant, but can you believe it’s September already? I sure can’t. This year has just flown by! It is delightful to walk in slightly cooler temps, though. My hubby and I went out around mid-day for a walk, and it was actually tolerable, unlike last month.
It’s been a very relaxing day, overall. I’m just watching the US Open and reading a book. None of that has really inspired a theme, except that while I was watching tennis, I noticed that there are a LOT of car commercials. My husband couldn’t stop talking about the Mercedes and how he’d actually prefer a Jaguar. I always roll my eyes because I don’t think they’re worth the money, even if you do have it.
I know we’ve done a similar theme recently, but I also know you guys have it in you to blow me away with your posts. Without giving too much away, let’s just get right to it. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work! Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is car/cars.
As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt. We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!
If you would like to suggest a theme, I am open to suggestions. Please either pop it in the comments or send me an email at helenvahdati@yahoo.com.
Here are the “rules”:
- Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not
- Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due and it’s honestly just a simple Google search
- Make sure you also credit the singer/band and provide a link to where you found the lyrics
- Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song
- Ping back to this post or my own Song Lyric Sunday post
- Read at least one other person’s blog so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process
Feel free to use the Song Lyric Sunday badge by copying it into your post or add it to your site to show you are participating.

Can’t wait! I have a good one lined up, I hope you’ll stop by and check it out once it’s posted. I’ve also got a battle of the bands going, so if you want to check out that post as well, that would be great!

I have to say a Mercedes is a good investment if you do have the money from what I have seen with people I know and an old friend…her car looked beautiful 20 years later. She just had a 4cyl 4 door sedan. I remember when she got it, she offered to pick up my son to drive to his high school prom (we are a small town and a tiny Mercedes IS special).
Now I am soooo pleased to be scrolling down my reader as I have been under the weather in the past 10 days with trips to doctor and hospital (doctors scratching their heads on how to put me back together, I guess) 8 day fever with no symptoms but achy all over drive them nuts and makes me sick lol. Anyway we will get there eventually.
Love this weather up to today when it went back up to 30C but I have ac. I have not read or written since the fever started except for my daughter’s birthday which was a recycled poem Friday.
Cars! I love that theme and a song popped up immediately which kept me company for a year. Talk soon. Cheryl-Lynn

I’m so sorry to hear you are under the weather. I hope you feel better soon!
I’m just not a car person. I view them as tools and not really as something pretty to look at. Lol

But your theme is a great metaphor!! 🙂 I gave up owning a car 4 years ago and it saved me $$ to travel each year once or twice! Public transit is more relaxing, walking is healthier and I have discovered how much I enjoy travelling alone too.

I enjoyed public transit when I could use it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me now, so I have to drive myself. If I could get rid of my car, I totally would! 😉

I decided to channel my children today. I am like Helen, cars are tools to get from here to there, but my children love talking cars and engines, so here is their favorite “car” song, even if it is about engines and “Fuel”
Written by James Alan Hetfield, Kirk L. Hammett, and Lars Ulrich From AtoZ Lyrics
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh!
Yeah!
Turn on… I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
One hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead
Fuck ’em man, white-knuckle tight
Through black and white
On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
And on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh
Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah!
Take the corner, join the crash
Headlights, head on, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah lives way too fast, fast, fast, oohhOH!
On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
And on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Yeah-heah
White knuckle tight!
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
My desire
On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
And on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh
On I burn
