Another Faux Pas

She fell into my lap like a falling star
 And I instinctively start talking about fast bikes and cars
 Eventually I ask her why her arm is in plaster
 Says she broke it and her Mum died in a highway disaster
 And she says she hates cars with all her life
 And she never wants to see another one
 And my hopes are blown open wide
 To the furthest point in the galaxy
 It's easy to get edgy when your nerves have been tried
 When there's no one waiting for you in the car outside
 In a hospital reception it can be hard to see reason
 So I ask this girl who she supports in the football season
 And she says she hates football with all her life
 And royal blue is not her favourite colour
 And once again my hopes are blown open wide
 To the furthest point in the galaxy
