PRIMITIVES

The Primitives are an English indie pop band from Coventry, best known for their 1988 international hit single “Crash”. Formed in 1984, disbanded in 1992 and reformed in 2009, the band’s two constant members throughout their recording career have been vocalist Tracy Tracy and guitarist Paul Court. Drummer Tig Williams has been a constant member since 1987 and the reformed line-up is completed by bassist Raph Moore.

Crash …

Crash
Here you go
Way too fast
Don’t slow down
Gonna crash
You should watch
Watch your step
Don’t lookout
Gonna break your neck
So shut shut your mouth
‘Cause I’m not listening anyhow
I’ve had enough enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me
Got no words of sympathy
And if I go around with you
You know that I’ll get messed up too with you
With you
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa
Nana nana na nana nana naaaaa
Here you go
Way too fast
Don’t slowdown
Gonna crash
You don’t know
What’s been going down
You’ve been running
Allover town
So shut shut your mouth
‘Cause I’m not listening anyhow
I’ve had enough enough of you
You know to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me
Got no cure for misery
And if I go about with you
You know that I’ll get messed up too with you
With you
Nana nana na nana nana naaaa
Nana nana na nana nana naaaa
