Just reviving this old thread with another take -a lot of us seem to have had a similar idea on this one:-


Range Rover.

I've been a total airhead for many a long year,
And medical science can find no known cure,
But somehow I've gathered up gold in great store,
So I've gone out and bought a bloody great 4 x 4

And it's Sod The Planet,
Bugger posterity, I will drive my Range Rover,
So the neighbours can see.

Though I work in an office from morning till late,
You'd think that I came off my country estate.
And my credit rating means I've got a huge loan,
With a voice like John Major, I'm God on his throne.

And it's Sod The Planet

If a Range Rover's slightly out of my price range
A Daihitsumishibishiboshi will do just the same,
See my radiator full in your rear view,
I'll be right up your backside a tailgating you..

And it's Sod The Planet

As a lifestyle statement, I need this beast,
Though the fuel consumption's prodigal to say the least,
On a narrow country road, I won't budge an inch,
As straddling the white line I drive you in the ditch.

And it's Sod The Planet

Now the wife's got one too, for the school run it's great,
Though we only live twenty five yards from the gates.
Watch her mounting the kerb, with shopping on her mind,
Scattering children and cones across the double yellow lines…

And it's Sod The Planet

Perched up on high, King of all that I survey,
Annoyed when the world won't get out of my way.
My garage mechanic he doesn't miss a trick,
And he always knows where he can find the dipstick..

And it's Sod the planet (King of the raod!!)etc

As it was a WR parody I was determined to get the word "prodigal" in somewhere!
