Song information
I've posted this song before, but this version has been remixed and remastered by Tom Hellstens@TST Studios. In addition, after further reviewing the vocal track, a few parts of it were redone as they were deemed a bit pitchy (Horrors!). The "Channel F" in the lyrics refers to a home video game system that was around in 1976-77 briefly, before disappearing.

Lyrics
Well this house will stand for five more years
And the way we live life never seems to change
But you know we do it to ourselves gotta hide hide hide
Yes that's right we do it to ourselves gotta hide hide hide
Time freezes here

Watch me takin' out my gran torino
Watch me pull it out into the road

You say I wear the same shirt every day
While we play Channel F and stare at the shag
And don't tell me about the water heater gotta hide hide hide
I know it's going bad for years  gotta hide hide
Time freezes here

Watch me drive around my gran torino
watch me do the curves around Snake Hill

Don't tell me what to do
I'm fast when you are slow
And when I stop you go
I lay it on the line
I'm fast when you are slow
But when I stop you go 

Should I be impressed with your friends
Your technologies and your karaoke bars
You go ahead and send your selfies gotta hide hide hide
Back to the attic artificats gotta hide hide hide
Time freezes here

Watch me put away my gran torino
Watch me put the keys under the drawer

REPEAT  FIFTH VERSRE UNTIL END

I drove a Grand Torino, a company car, once for a year or so....super powerful car ... got my first 2 and only speeding tickets in Canada! All within a week of each other. I had only been driving that car for about a month then! LOL! Your song reflects that! It was a real fun car to have...esp when the previous car was a slow Datsun B210! Hahaha. I love the guitar solo...that solo would have made me drive faster! Good song. I like your voice tone...unique!
