Motorway Food from Where Next? by Mitch Benn

Driving home from Birmingham this morning
The road was stretching on before my eyes
From somewhere in my guts there came a warning
‘cos I’d been living all week long on Ginsters pies

Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me
Motorway food, you bring me misery
There’s congestion on the old M6 and in my arteries
Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me

On the toilet doubled up in agony
At Reading services on the M4
I guess it was that microwave lasagne
I had on the M1 the night before

Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me
Motorway food, almost nutrition free
With just half the taste of normal food and twice the calories
Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me

What I wouldn’t give for some fruits and veggies
Baby if I live I’ll never eat another thing
‘Cause it’s making me queasy, making me queasy
And now I’m leaning out the window
And I think I’m gonna puke my ring

Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me
Motorway food, why must my dinner be
Another radioactive sausage roll that cost 70p
Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me
And they’ll bury me at Newport Pagnell or maybe Membury
Motorway food, you’ll be the death of me
