Bicycle (Winter 2008; London)

I had to dig out the lyrics for this one, and apparently there were two extra verses I didn't see fit to put in the recorded version. I figured I'd put them up anyway...


Ive got a new bicycle,
It's not like my dad's old one,
that got stolen when I was young,
With my own seat strapped to the front.

(I've got a new coffee pot,
It's not like the one from home,
and sometimes it overflows,
but it's all mine to call my own.

I live alone in euston now,
and only just up the street,
from that hotel, we couldn't sleep
a couple of kids in way too deep.)

I found an old polaroid,
it was us but our hair was worse
marked September 21st,
and your writing on the reverse..

You get your train
from Warren Street to Waterloo
and Waterloo to where we make out names...

I've bought myself a newspaper
to pass the time on this train,
and call old things by new names,
but I'll be back round here again.
