Old tunes and young cars.

They wrote songs about love, driving and loss:

Yeah Mustang take me
Mustang Ford take me far away
Been driving for days now
Been driving to take the pain away

They wrote songs about alien abduction:

Let's go and meet our friends
They said they'd be here today
They like to oscillate
They say it's great
They want to rollercoaster ride
And drive into the depths of the dark night
They love the bright lights
And the lay-by's too
And as the leaves blew up to the heavens
They said they knew

And noir-esque love and death:

You look like you've been losin' sleep
Said a stranger on a train
I fixed him with an ice cold stare and said
I've been havin' those dreams again
In one dream there's this girl I love
And we dance every wakin' breath
And in the other they've thrown me in a cell
And they're tryin' me for her death

Sometimes, they just had a good lyric:

And bring me the head of the fortune teller
It wasn't meant to be this way
It weren't meant to work out this way
So bring me the head of the fortune teller
I'm gonna wear it 'round my neck as a charm

And they have reformed, and are touring:
