British rock band, pop Rock, New Wave, Power Pop, formed in 1977 London, United Kingdom.
Driver's Seat was a bestseller in many countries in 1978 (on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States it was number 15). In the United Kingdom it was not a success due to a technical problem with the EMI printing plant, which made the single unavailable after the group's appearance on the television program (Top of the Pops) and remained on the threshold of the list of the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart.1 The founder, leader of the group and only constant member of the group is its singer and songwriter, Paul Roberts. He is also a painter, and all the group's covers are due to him.

According to Paul Roberts, "Driver's Seat" isn't about driving, but rather "fragmented, conflicting thoughts and emotions that might follow the break-up of a relationship". One of the key decisions in arranging the song was to start with drums and progressively introduce other instruments.

Doing alright
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life

The news is blue (the news is blue)
Has its own way to get to you (ooh)
What can I do (what can I do?)
I'll not remember my time with you

Pick up your feet
You've got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the driver's seat

Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah

We're doing alright (ooh)
A little jiving on a Saturday night (yeah)
And come what may (ooh)
Gonna dance the day away (yeah)

Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah

Jenny was sweet (ooh)
There is no elite (yeah)
Pick up your feet (ooh)
Pick up, pick up (yeah)
Pick up your feet (ooh)
Gonna dance the day away (yeah)

Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah

Yeah
Driver's seat
