The Acoustic Motorbike |
The day began with a rainbow in the sand |
As I cycled into Kerry |
Cattle grazing on a steep hillside |
Looked well fed, well balanced |
Close to the edge |
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles |
Pedal on |
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles |
Pedal on |
I take a break, I close my eyes |
And I’m happy as the dolphin |
In a quiet spot talking to myself |
Talking about the rain |
Talking about the rain |
All this rain |
Pedal on |
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles |
Pedal on |
You see whenever I’m alone |
I tend to brood |
But when I’m out on my bike |
It’s a different mood |
I leave my brain at home |
Get up on the sattle |
No hanging around |
I don’t diddle-daddle |
I work my legs |
I pump my thights |
Take in the scenery passing me by |
The Kerry mountains or the Wicklow hills |
The antidote to my emotional ills |
A motion built upon human toil |
Nuclear free needs no oil |
But it makes me hot, makes me hard |
I never thought I could have come this far |
Through miles of mountains, valleys, streams |
This is the right stuff filling my dreams |
So come on, get up on your bike |
Ah go on, get up on your bike |
Pedal on |
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles |
Pedal on |
Finally |
With my face to that bitter wind |
I bombed it into Killarney |
Skin raw like a sushi dinner |
And an appetite |
That would eat the hind leg of the lamb of God |
Even though you know |
I wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing |
Then settle down for a quiet night |
Think about what I’ve seen and done |
And wonder |
There’s a reason for this |
Now is the time |
To speak of the problem troubling my mind |
Sick of the traffic choking our towns |
Freaking me out, bringing me down |
Knock down houses, build more lanes |
Once was a problem, now it’s insane |
My solution it’s one that I like |
It’s Muddy |
The Acoustic Motorbike |
So come on, get up on your bike |
Ah go on, get up on your bike |
Pedal on |
Pedal on, pedal on, pedal on for miles |
Pedal on |
Ah go on |
Ah go on |
Get up on your bike |
Get up on your bike |
