I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives me heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all We've got a thing that's called
Radar love

I've just listened to that now, Bruce Dickinson sounds young in it, nothing like his later songs.

And I guess our Van (Citroen C15) would have to be singing Cyprus Hill - Insane in the Membrane as you have to be to buy one!

I`ve drove a land rover for many a year
And spent all my money on offroadin gear
Chequer plate, snorkel and roof lights so bright
And mud tyres so knobbly you grin with delight

--chorus--

And its off road fever
Offroadin makes me feel free
When I drive my landrover
Offroadins for me!!

There`s more but I`d only bore you!! :D

Title: what song would your car sing?
Post by: tonycougar on March 17, 2006, 23:00:34: Right as promised, heres the whole of the song

Verse 1-------------

Drove a landrover for many a year
And spent all my money on offroadin gear
Chequer plate snorkel and roof lights so bright
And tyres so knobbly you grin with delight

Chorus--------------

And its off road fever
Offroadin makes me feel free
When I drive my landrover
Offroadins for me

Verse2--------------

Went to the quarry to play in the mud
And never got stuck though they said that I should
Go a bit further try a bit more
Soon needed towing back out of the gore

Chorus

Verse3--------------

Jeeps Landies Fronties n Diahatsu`s
Suki`s n Discos n the odd Hilux too
Messing and playing and trialling in mud
Pulling each other back out of the crud

Chorus

Verse4------------

Broken my tow bar my brakes and exhaust
The money this costs is a drain on resource
Think I should find me a cheaper pastime
But offroadin makes me feel in my prime

Chorus-----to finish

Its not perfect, and I am open to constructive critisism, so if you can think of a better line somewhere then lets hear it! :)

Enjoy
Tony

tony post the chords mate :lol: :lol:

Depends what key you want to sing in but these are what I use:-

I`ll just give you 1 verse and chorus for simplicity

A D
Drove a landrover for many a year
A E7 A
And spent all my money on offroadin gear
D
Chequer plate snorkel and roof lights so bright
A E7 A
And tyres so knobbly you grin with delight

Chorus--------------

E7 A
And its off road fever ............
D
Offroadin makes me feel free
A D
When I drive my landrover
A E7 A
Offroadins for me

Unfortunately the forum won`t let me put the chords exactly where they need to be, but hopefully you can work that out.
Alternatively go to www.guitartabs.cc and download "the wild rover" then you can see for yourself where the chords are supposed to be.
Hope thats clear
