Rode My Bike

I rode my bike right through the woods
The sun was smiling and I felt good
Then I came to a gate that was locked and high
So I turned around with a frustrated sigh
Then I rode my bike around the town
But I soon got tired of the sights and sounds
So I rode my bike right up the hill
But the effort made me feel quite ill
Bitter chorus
No red carpet
No parade
No key to the city
No big band played
No confetti
No welcome back
No bronze statue
No blue plaque
I don't need
Any of that junk
I am what I am
A lifelong punk
So I freewheeled down and followed a hunch
To pedal back home and eat my lunch
Now the obvious moral of this tale
Is don't blindly set off on a trail
My unplanned trip went badly wrong
And the only good outcome was this song
Yeah my unplanned trip went badly wrong
And the only good outcome was this song
Bitter Chorus
Defiant Daydream sequence
Yegods! I will ride another day
Gadzooks! Won’t you come on out to play
We could beat the odds
And be welcomed home as gods
And the world can kiss our backsides either way
Bitter Chorus
Slightly more optimistic outro
I rode my bike and it didn’t go my way
Yeah I rode my bike and I hope for a better ride some other day

Golden Fleece

A superb album to soundtrack the summer sunshine, full of earworms. Any song that namechecks Peter Tork can't be bad. An ideal antidote to the manufactured pap, sorry pop, that prevails these days.
