The Script

At the age of 21, I did my military service and became a member of the German Marines. I urgently needed a car to drive home from the barracks on weekends. I didn't have much money, so I bought a 10-year-old Opel Manta for $4,000. It was every working-class boy's dream. I loved it, the girls loved it, and the repair shop loved it. They couldn't get enough of the car.
[Verse]
Metal beast keeps me alive
Rusted doors frame the drive
Engine roars heard from far
I still love my old car

[Verse 2]
Piston pumping like a heart
Passing streets tearing apart
Headlights shine through the dark
Cruising paths leaving marks

[Chorus]
Rusty ride never tires
Worn out seats grips like pliers
Miles together countless scars
Still
I love my old car

[Verse 3]
Every dent tells a tale
Haunting ghosts down the trail
Busted radio cracked glass
Acceleration no looking back

[Verse 4]
Fuel gauge flickers red
Dead end road up ahead
Foot on gas chasing stars
Revving life through my old car

[Chorus]
Rusty ride never tires
Worn out seats grips like pliers
Miles together countless scars
Still
I love my old car

I Love My Old Car

A reflective, intimate track that captures the pursuit of something undefined — a feeling, a possibility, a spark. Not lonely but quietly curious, it balances stillness with yearning for the abstract.

Our new album ‘Satellites’ - out now 📡
‘At Your Feet’ - single out now!

The Script’s gift for writing songs rich with heady emotions and ever bigger melodies has enamoured fans all over the world, leading to a catalogue of global hits such as ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Breakeven’. But following the tragic loss of founder member Mark Sheehan in 2023, his bandmates Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power vowed that the best way to pay tribute to him would be to continue the band they had built together and reconnect with The Script’s worldwide family.

Returning with their upcoming album ‘Satellites’, The Script have made a life-affirming record, bringing a fiery new energy to their anthemic, arena-filling sound. The Script prove that there can be new horizons and light after the darkness.

2024 will see The Script tour internationally as special guests to P!NK before they add to a career total of 4 million ticket sales by embarking upon a huge UK and European headline arena tour in November. Having already achieved so much - 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales, 6 UK #1 albums - an exciting new chapter in The Script’s journey is underway, and the possibilities are endless.
