lyrics

A D
Love is a series of doctors from one to the next
Life is the quest for a little more respect
Be a class warrior
Be a backseat driver
Be a complicated edcuated member of society
But humans are humans
Where ever you go
And that's important to me

A D
Fear is a plague of petunias
that wither and die
Hope is the fire of a righteous mind
Shoulder to shoulder with 56 more
I'm standing by the parliament and raising my voice
Shoulder to shoulder me and 56 more
O we want the choice

Bm D A E
Though people will talk
I Cycle
Bm D
They may want me to walk but
I Cycle

A D
Sex is the fumbling function of form over shame
Money has no function at all
Gentlemen Only Ladies Forgotten
A vat of acid on the 16th hole should show my dislike
T.E. Yates is burning bungalows
At Rivington Pike

Bm D A E
Though people will talk
I Cycle
Bm D
They may want me to walk but
I Cycle

A D
Age is a reason to know what we're laughing about
Death is the laugh that we haven't had
My sensible locks never lower than my ears
In shirt and pants and boots I'll spend my retirement years
I'll keep my bees company
See what they have to teach me

Bm D A E
Though people will talk
I Cycle
Bm D A E
They may want me to walk but
I Cycle
Bm D A E
Though city folk stare
I cycle
Bm D
Through Preston streets fair
I cycle
