TAXI (Pete Ham)
[Iveys demo from "Without You, The Tragic Story of Badfinger (2nd edition)" CD/"Someday We'll Be Known" bootleg CD]

Only three miles from your home

Now at last, we're alone

Just because I telephoned for a taxi


It may be just another car (car)

But it's more to me by far (far)

Forty miles per hour

Sitting in a taxi, yeah

Sitting in a taxi


Only two miles from your door

Like a palace all our own

On imaginary thrones in a taxi


I wish the lights would change to red (red)

They're green and we must go ahead (head)

I know the things I said

Moving in a taxi, yeah (moving in a taxi)

Moving in a taxi, taxi, taxi

Moving oh so fast (taxi)

Not so fast! (taxi)

Slow down! (taxi)

Slow down!


Only one mile from your door

Now, I'm on my own

Making my way home in a taxi (moving in a taxi)

Taxi (moving in a taxi)

Taxi (moving in a taxi)

Yeah.
