lyrics

(the van)

Four men and a transit and a mattress in the back
Nineteen ninety-seven and a map that had a tear
Two thousand miles of motorway and one cassette on track
And we've all got houses now and none of us go there

And the thing about the van is nobody wants it back
And every one of us would get in it tonight

The van, the van, and it's rusted in a yard
And the man who owns the yard has got no idea what he's got
The van, the van, and remembering is hard
Not because it hurts but because it doesn't, and it ought

Dave drove all of it. Every mile. Never complained.
Dave's got a bad back now and a daughter doing law.

The van, the van, and it's rusted in a yard
And the man who owns the yard has got no idea what he's got
The van, the van, and remembering is hard
Not because it hurts but because it doesn't, and it ought

(and it ought)
