Artist: Bic Runga   Song: Drive   Album: Drive  (released '97)

From New Zealand's stand out female singer/songwriter talent this incredible song was
written a few minutes before Bic Runga's first
solo gig in Auckland, NZ, as she didn't have enough songs to make
up a 40 minute set.

       Ride  in  your  car  now  but please don't drop me home
