24 years on George wrote this one During 1977 Harrison went to a lot of Formula One races instead of writing any songs. Harrison had been talking to Niki Lauda after the Watkins Glen Race, and became inspired to write a song that Niki-Jody-Emerson and the gang could enjoy. Harrison got the title of the song from Jackie Stewarts book, and then wrote the chorus. He wrote the rest of the song in a way that did not limit it to only motor cars, the only car-related word being machinery. However, when sound effects from the 1978 British Grand Prix were added to the song, it was clearly associated to motor cars. Harrison later stated that “ I have a lot of fun with many of the Formula One drivers and their crews - and they have enabled me to see things from a very different angle than the music business I am normally involved with ” The song was dedicated to the Entire Formula One Circus and in memory of Ronnie Peterson.The single was released by Harrison to assist the fundraising for the Gunnar Nilsson Cancer Fund, a fund started after the death of the Swedish driver Gunnar Nilsson in 1978, caused by cancer. wiki Faster Chose a life in circuses Jumped into the deepest end Pushing himself to all extremes Made it - people became his friend. Now they stood and noticed him Wanted to be part of it Pulled out some poor machinery So he worked til the pieces fit. The people were intrigued His wife held back her fears The headlines gave acclaim Hed realized their dreams. Faster than a bullet from a gun He is faster than everyone Quicker than the blinking of an eye Like a flash you could miss him going by No one knows quite how he does it but its true they say Hes the master of going faster. Now he moved into the space That the special people share Right on the edge of do or die Where there is nothing left to spare. Still the crowds came pouring in Some had hoped to see him fail Filling their hearts with jealousies Crazy people with love so frail. The people were intrigued His wife held back her fears The headlines gave acclaim Hed realized their dreams. Faster than a bullet from a gun He is faster than everyone Quicker than the blinking of an eye Like a flash you could miss him going by No one knows quite how he does it but its true they say Hes the master of going faster. No need to wonder why His wife held back her fears So few have even tried To realize their dreams. Faster than a bullet . . . [repeat chorus] https://youtube/watch?v=GaRtxKOO9Eo
