you've inspired another ditty Amigo:
On a dark snowbound highway, cold wind in my hair
Warm smell of diesel, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
So I parked on the shoulder;
I heard weather report
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heavy and this could be hell’
Then I lit up a ciggie and drank from my flask
There were voices on the radio,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel Volvo cabin
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Climate control in the hotel Volvo cabin
At this time of year, you'll be warm in here
Then a girl came up to me, she drove a mercedes benz
She got it stuck on the M1 and couldn't call any friends
So she climbed in the Volvo, and I started to sweat.
There was only one bunk, maybe 2, I forget...
So I opened the glovebox,
’and uncorked the wine’
she said, ’I haven’t drank any "blue nun" since nineteen eighty nine’
And still those snowflakes are falling from far away,
Woke her up in the middle of the night
Told her - you'll have to stay...
Welcome to the hotel Volvo cabin
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel Volvo cabin
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of the snow and the ice’
And in the councils gritters,
They gathered from the east
They salt it as best they can,
But they just can’t clear the street
Last thing I remember, I was
turning the key
I had to find the passage back
To the A453
’relax,’ said the police man,
We are blocked up to Leeds.
You can start-up any time you like,
But you can never leave!
