lyrics

In Commando’s opening scene two men pose with a Heil Mark III
And my heart skips a beat
Close Encounters had one too and it was red and white and blue
And my knees go weak

Because I love refuse trucks in films and I know every single one
From 1969 to 1983

And you know Child’s Play 3 never really bothered me
Except for one short scene

A Bermers-Maxon Packer gave that doll some action
And my knees went weak

Because I love refuse trucks in films and I know every single one
From 1969 to 1983
The obfuscation of our waste is the only thing that keeps us civilised
In a world that’s not

And my all-time favourite scene
The LoadMaster 320
In Ghostbusters it makes me cry
Every time that beautiful truck rolls by

Because I love refuse trucks in films and I know every single one
From 1969 to 1983
The obfuscation of our waste is the only thing that keeps us civilised
In a world that’s not
