Name: Fast Lane
Duration: P00H04M01S
Description: “Fast Lane” is about the gender politics of a swimming pool. The chorus came to me when swimming, aggravated by the men with bad pool etiquette. The verses stemmed from the anger of having to manage male egos, in or out of the pool. This song is for anyone who wants to stick up two fingers at those men who make our lives harder than it needs to be.

lyrics

I don’t need saving
Your assumptions walk me home
I feel your energy shift
Through an ocean of cold water

I’m in the fast lane
Taking over you
in the fast lane

Don’t need you telling me your regime
No need to pretend you care
How my weekend’s been

I’m in the fast lane
Taking over you
In the fast lane
Do me a favour

I don’t need chasing
I’m not waiting for your call
What are you apologising for?
I’ve met you once in total
I am a woman
You are a boy
Just leave me be
You make me see red
Rid me of the negativity

How beautiful to swim without you near me
In the dark is where I build my pace
How wonderful to move without the fear
That you create
You create

I'm in the fast lane
Taking over you
In the fast lane

Aren’t you seeing your actions ricochet
Take responsibility, change
Lanes

In the fast lane
Taking over you
In the fast lane
Do me a favour
Get away
