about

Big Black Car
Just ahead of his highly anticipated debut album and on the back of winning country song of the year at the North Coast Entertainment Industry’s Dolphin Awards, Brendan Smoother is back with another captivating song, BIG BLACK CAR. Co-written with one of the loveliest ladies of song, Lola Brinton and produced by the multi talented Michael Carpenter of Love Hz studio Sydney. BIG BLACK CAR is a mysterious story song set at the ‘Alternative’ end of country. “WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THAT BIG BLACK CAR” ?

lyrics

What's going on with that big black car
By the derelict house where the she oaks are
It just appeared seems not to move
Yet I’m sure it has a time or two

I man the front porch through the day
I see everything it’s fair to say
All the goings on in my street
They can't escape my sticky beak

Big black car
Big black car
What’s going on with that big black car

Well the missus says to mind my own
As she gossips on the telephone
I tell myself she maybe right
I could use a better sleep at night

But a mystery so incomplete
It’s all locked up in the summer heat
Reflecting sun and strips of chrome
Just what goes down in that sordid home

Big black car
Big black car
What’s going on with that big black car

A lovers tryst maybe the mob
A hit man hired for another job
Illicit drugs, crack cocaine
Speculation runs riot through my brain


What’s going on with that burbling beast
Four a.m. and I heard a screech
Three doors slam the noise abates
Morning comes two fresh plates

Well it’s stakeout time like a man obsessed
Night-vision bought from the internet
And the engine sounds of a big V8
As I crouch behind my garden gate

Big black car
Big black car
What’s going on with that big black car

A lovers tryst maybe the mob
A hit man hired for another job
Illicit drugs, crack cocaine
Speculation runs riot through my brain

As I watch it slowly pull away
I swear I saw a woman’s wave
A benediction or an ancient curse
It’s a ride into the midnight church

Well I’m gonna find out now for sure
As a shadow slips out through the door
And the car it turns and comes my way
Then a fog appears and my memory fades
