about

Quirky, driving little number about life in a strange, cold town.

lyrics

God On A Bike

Five minutes late I missed the bus
I’ve never been one to make a fuss
Everything else will have to wait
I can be good I can’t be great

I need more room I must have heard
All of your thoughts and every word
You’re not too spatially aware
And you don’t especially care

I like dreaming
I like dreaming

I sip a cup of piss in which I drown
The best antithesis to my surround
Then I reminisce and roam the town
That only proved to be my falling down

I don’t feel right
I don’t feel right

I can’t take this lunacy
When all I’ve got’s this tune, you see
I gave up hope for you not me
You can say what you like
I may have time when I get home
To call you on the telling bone
And only then I’ll make it known
I saw God on a bike

Under my skin (Got no more time to waste)
Don’t let him in (I need a hiding place)
Bringing you down (Already off his face)
God on a bike!
God on a bike!
God on a bike!

I don’t feel right
I don’t feel right

Under my skin (It’ll be fine, you said)
Don’t let him in (We’ll have a good time, you said)
Bringing you down (I should’ve stayed in bed)
God on a bike!
God on a bike!
God on a bike!
