You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


Lyrics by Tracy Chapman, of course of course.

‘Fast Car’ has always been Jackie the mule’s theme song in my mind, it just speaks to me of a kid longing for a better life - and that’s Jack, in a nutshell.

I figure in this picture he’s the battered, terrified, bed-wetting 8-year old foal from Jack Frost Part 1, still living in the working-class industrial town he was born and raised in, and desperate for an escape from his abusive father and post-GFC poverty. The unicorn headband belonged to one of his older sisters, and Jack’s squirrelled it away where his father won’t find it - it makes him feel pretty to wear it, and lets him dream of being an actual unicorn, wild and free.

You did Jack Frost?
I suppose if I had been paying attention I would have watched you earlier.

And I see that's a right hand drive car.

Yup, I’m mostly a writer, I just decided to try my hand at drawing recently.

It was originally LHD, then I flipped the canvas XD

The car resembles a 1955 Chrysler.
