Story Behind The Song
From an album of motor car songs dating back to 1999. Other titles include - mini skirt, fluff capri, wheels, mondeo man and reliable robin. There's a humour element for sure, but we all love our cars and they express a lot about our personality!! Figure that out.

Lyrics
Royston Roller
He wears a bowler.
His pin striped suit cuts a dash.
Carries an umbrella,
Such a dapper fella.
But lost his millions in the crash.
Royston comes from such damn good breeding,
His parents gave him all that he was needing.
Silver spoons, expensive toys,
More than other girls and boys,
Public school doesn't prepare you for failure,
You're old chums were waiting there to nail yer.
No one there to help you out,
When all your money's up the spout.
Its sad to see a rich man fall so far.
And all that Royston's left with is his car.
