Quarter Turn Twist of the Wrist (Dargan)

Friday races were never drearier
Typical victors preordained
Up to the line on your Brough Superior
Goggles fogged in a soft, Sping rain

Roll my Bonneville up to the line
(tickle the carbs to a steady flow)
Top Dead Center and give it a kick
(a fine, full chat and away we go!)

Roll on the throttle (there's no key)
Louder now than an XJE

On the right side....
Let's go for a ride
Down in your valley and up the other side
It's a slow kiss
On a night like this
You get a half a mile further from a quarter turn twist of the wrist

A little more nimble, a little more sleek
(never gonna stop till you get one)
Stomp your Guzzi any day of the week
(never gonna stop till you get one)

Wind-swept Norton (starting to drift)
Pushing the red-line, waiting to shift

On the right side...

Pour my life (from a petrol can)
Half way home to the Isle of Man
