hello beautifoul people,

why Speedway as title. I can't find any connection with the lyrics. i've been waiting years before asking for enlighting me.

thanx
 
I looked it up, and this was posted by Manko on songmeanings.net:

"The title is almost certainly a thinly veiled reference to Johnny Marr. In the Guardian a few weeks back there was an article on Marr, who listed 10 important things in his life. One of them was a badge for the Belle Vue Aces speedway team.

Apparently Marr often goes to watch speedway racing, so it has to be about him in my opinion."

Here's the link to this song's page if you want to read further: http://songmeanings.net/songs/view/55783/

I'd read he was originally gonna call it Speedoes but the record company talked him out of it at the last minute...
 
Speedway was an Elvis Presley movie with Nancy Sinatra.

Maybe there is a connection there.

More likely about Johnny Marr.
