Rhys Gruffydd - Science Fiction Cars
She said
"I don’t like the Mini Metro
Not even the 6R4
Me, I aim for the stars
And that car’s just stuck to the floor".
CHORUS1
"I like science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
I love science fiction cars"
"But if you
Turned up in a Batmobile
Or better Ed Straker’s car
I would love you more than any other
You’d be setting the highest bar".
CHORUS 2
"I just love science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
I love Science fiction cars"
Don’t tell me you are unimpressed by
Economy and practicality
When these things are achieved by science
Engineering lifting us all out of banality.
Ohhh ohhhh ohhhhoooo
(Are you ready? are you ready?
I’m ready,
They look ready
Are they ready?
Get ready)
CHORUS 3
"I just love
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
I love science fiction cars"
Don’t skip on technology
Don’t go light with the science
Don’t just blind us with ecology
People and physics is a grand alliance.
CHORUS 4
"I like science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
I love science fiction cars"
Uh huh yeah aha yeah aha.
RAP
Why don’t ya take us to the future now baby?
Why don’t ya take us straight there right now?
Gimme nuclear fission under every car bonnet
Just show me how
HOW!

I love science fiction cars.
And we’re almost there yes we’re almost there,
We’re almost there yes we’re almost there,
We’re almost there yes we’re almost there,
We’re almost there yes we’re almost there.
(Watch out they look like aliens
They might be aliens
I think they’re aliens)
Magnetic levitation
And flying cars
Haven’t reached us just yet
But they’ll be here
When we get to the future
That I’m willing to bet.
(Flying cars! Its impossible! I’m telling you, I know.)
It’s a fallacy
That this will never happen
Let me tell you how.
With hydrogen fuel cells and
Solid state batteries
Sci-Fi cars are here right now
CHORUS 5
I like science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
Science fiction cars
I love science fiction cars.
