Speed Queen Lyrics

1) I like green grass and I like pontiacs
I like cheap clothes and boys that'll never know
When the wind blows, I smell El Porto
So I keep cigarettes, down in my panty hose


and I roll like thunder

2) Ive got a fairlane, I drive with my dog flame
Hes got a red scarf and we sell cocaine
I smoke mistys, and I got red knees
I sweat hair gel, when I do the hard sell



and we roll like thunder


Chorus -
Speed queen
Speed queen


3) I like young things and I like cheap flings
Flame likes pinball so we hang at the shopping mall
I run red lights, stay out all night
So when I get busted, remember who you trusted


and that we rolled like thunder



Chorus -
Speed queen
Speed queen
Speed queen
Speed queen

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Zuba is an international collective producing a heady upbeat crossover mix of West African folk, Latin rhythms, contrapuntal guitars and melodic vocals. Zuba wrote and rehearsed Allez! in the basement of a disused sandwich factory in the centre of Glasgow in the long, wet summer of 2004. The following recording sessions ran through to November. The main idea of recording these songs was to define, refine and capture Zuba’s existing live sound – a sound borne of a fusion of different cultures but not defined by them. Zuba’s Bassa Beat is global cosmopolitanism almost by accident of birth. The band members were friends, who just happened to be musicians from different parts of the world , before they were a band.
Take a lead singer of Liberian griot lineage with a throat full of reggae and gospel, a Hebridean guitarist with a background in folk fingerpicking and 60s psychedelia, a Parisian percussionist who had travelled and drummed extensively in the world’s Latin quarters, an Aberdonian bassist with a fixation on finding the groove that would link Peter Gabriel’s world fusion and The Who, a Paisley-born jazz-inflected drummer who studied in Berklee, Boston, a Ugandan singer with a soul voice and an obsession with melancholic 70s singer-songwriters, and a Ghanaian dancer with one foot in the R’nB bag and the other dragging it away to African Gospel harmony choir recitals… stick them together in the back of a transit van for six years or so, lock them in a sandwich factory for a while and then entomb them in a smoke-filled recording studio and you have this album.

2) A 90's jam band out of Boulder which has disbanded. Their song "Speed Queen" was featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 American comedy film "There's Something About Mary". Read more on Last.fm.
