03 Apr 08 - 04:18 PM (#2305785) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Red Velvet Steering Wheel Cover Driv From: Melissa Is this it, olddude? ^^ (Words & Music Jeremy Taylor © 1968 Edwin Morris) I remember the time I was driving along on the Liverpool highway singing a song and the day was as good as the road it was long I was on my way then up ahead a black speck appeared and as I drew near it was just what I feared doing twenty-five miles an hour in top gear in the outside lane oh dear me glory be one of them I could see it was a red velvet steering wheel cover driver. He and his wife they sat side by side in their safety belts they were safely tied and together they drove through the green countryside which they did not see they had two dingle-dangles which hung by a string from the mirror, and on the back seat was a thing which wobbled its head up and down with a singular stare at me up and down side to side keep your eyes open wide for the red velvet steering wheel cover driver. He's got three china ducks on his sitting room wall and a bowl of pink plastic flowers in the hall and a souvenir ashtray he bought in Porthcawl on his holiday and when he gets home he'll go straight to his chair switch on the telly and all night he'll stare at the girls and the gunfights and wish he was there but he's here to stay when he regrets what he didn't see then he'll switch to ITV 'cos he's a red velvet steering wheel cover driver. Each Monday morning he takes his basket to town, he goes to the supermarket he walks up and down and thinks oh what a task it's so hard to choose 'cos there's apple-sponge pudding all topped with taysteefreez ready-cut loaves, instant cake-mix and frozen peas all of those fifty seven varieties fresh today hermetically sealed, untouched by human hand, so easy just heat the tin, think of those gifts you might Win if you're a red velvet steering wheel cover driver. Well it's Saturday night it's the night for a fling so let's on with our glad rags and ring-a-ding-dingo we'll down to the Hall for a good game of Bingo and cups of tea then it's back home to bed, switch out the light hug a hot water bottle, sweet dreams and sleep tight and God keep us from things that go bump in the night and especially all those dreams of the day when our own children will say "My dad's a red velvet steering wheel cover driver."

03 Apr 08 - 04:43 PM (#2305815) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Red Velvet Steering Wheel Cover Driv From: Jon Bartlett Funny how ideas change. I've known this song forever, used to sing it 20-30 years ago but now it turns my stomach. I read it now as a snotty "Thank-God-I'm-Not-One-Of-Them" or Pharasaical pieces. It's not an affectionate look at this old duffer and his wife, but it denounces them both as somehow being responsible for the ducks-on-the-wall and the "apple-sponge pudding all topped with taysteefreez" aspects of late capitalism. Am I wrong? I'd like to hear other views. My 2c! Jon Bartlett |

To me it is just an old song that should be played now and again for memory sakes. I never really paid too much attention to any meaning but I suppose a person could now that you pointed it out. |

03 Apr 08 - 04:59 PM (#2305838) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Red Velvet Steering Wheel Cover Driver From: olddude Listening to it, I think it is more of a stop and smell the roses type of song don't you think. Like don't be in such a hurry ... life is short kinda thing |

I know I had it in one of my notebooks before there was a Digital Tradition. I probably heard it from Jacqui and Bridie in the early 1970s. |

02 Apr 11 - 05:00 PM (#3127154) Subject: Lyr Add: Do you know From: Nigel Parsons Having been stuck behind someone yesterday who seemed to have no clue. I was delayed getting to a tenpin bowling match. I found my self adding new words to an old pop song: Do you know where you're going to. When it comes to driving you've no f***ing clue What you are trying to do. Do you know? Do you know what you're looking for? When you park and open up the offside door That's what your mirror's for. Did you know? Once you were young and fancy free You walked, or rode a bike & didn't bother me. But now to read The Highway Code would suit you best. I sometimes wonder how you ever passed the test! Do you know where you're going to. When it comes to driving you've no f***ing clue What you are trying to do. Do you know? Do you know what you're looking for? When you park and open up the offside door That's what your mirror's for. Did you know? Okay, That's got that off my chest! Cheers Nigel |
