Title: The Lancia Chairman’s Lament Post by: St Volumex on 12 January, 2012, 08:48:23 AM The Lancia Chairman’s Lament
Words by Guy McDougall 2012 Tune: “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” by those Celtic rockers - You Too I have waved the Lancia banner I have carried the Lancia shield Only to be with you To try and please most of you I have begged I’ve cajoled To get new members to enrol Only to be turned down That really brings me down So I still haven't found what I'm looking for So I still haven't found what I'm looking for I’ve done picnics, rallies and clinics Given advice to experts and loonies Until I was tired But yes I’m still running I’ve been helped by some who are angels Criticised by just a few devils We’ve all types of members There’s good, bad, and ugly But I still haven't found what you’re looking for But I still haven't found what you’re looking for I believe in the Lancia Club Where all those models should blend into one That should be fun! And yes, I believe it I’ve got some Betas and Gammas A scruffy Delta and HPEs Some Appia Berlinas A couple of other wrecks You may not believe it So I still haven't found what I'm looking for So I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what you’re looking for But I still haven't found what you’re looking for Title: Re: The Lancia Chairman’s Lament Post by: thecolonel on 12 January, 2012, 10:37:20 AM Excellent, who wrote it for you ?

Bit of trivial : what was Bono writing about in the original song ? Title: Re: The Lancia Chairman’s Lament Post by: St Volumex on 13 January, 2012, 04:16:17 AM I think Bono was writing about an Irish Car Club, but at the risk of alienating some of the more militant members who may just have set off a bomb in a pub or kneecapped him, he watered down the original words (which were similar to what I've written), and so the true meaning behind the song was lost.

I must point out that the words I penned are from my personal experience only, but are offered in a spirit of empathy for Chairmen all over the world. Any resemblance to Lancia Chairmen past or present, alive or dead is purely co-incidental, and the work is pure fiction.
