Another song inspired by my trip to Cambridge in August, they seem to love bikes in Cambridge, there are hundreds of them everywhere and you have to watch out driving round or crossing the road, they like buskers too, unlike London - they hate bikes and buskers with a passion!
Many other world Cities are more tolerant and a few are shown on the vid - enjoy, and be careful if you're out on that bike! (-:
As usual the sound quality has suffered, always seems to with dirty guitar, though will be much improved on the finished CD album...wonder if i could make a vinyl LP ? (-:

PLAY LOUD!!

Guitar - Comedy & Tragedy (G+D+G+b+)
Amp - Orange TT / Marshall 4x10 cab
Drums - Roland TD-12

CYCLE CITY!

DROVE ON DOWN TO - CYCLE CITY
HAD A BLAST ON MAIN STREET
KAMIKAZE - WHEELS AND PEDALS
NEARLY KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET.

CHORUS - CYCLE CITY, CYCLE CITY, CYCLE CITY! x2

IF YOU GO DOWN TO - CYCLE CITY
HAVE A BLAST ON PARKSIDE
BRADLEY WIGGINS - AIN'T GOT NOTHIN'
ON THE NERVE OF THESE GUYS.

CHORUS

RISK YOUR ASS IN - CYCLE CITY
TAKE A CHANCE AND GO THERE
KISS THE GRASS IN - CYCLE CITY
FEEL THE WIND IN YOUR HAIR.

CHORUS

GOIN' BACK TO - CYCLE CITY
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM JOIN 'EM
GONNA SHOOT DOWN - CYCLE CITY
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM JOIN 'EM

CHORUS x3

Like that Steve.  Like James's photo too.  Used to be here in my area that a lot of the music people were also bicyclists.  Old knees and different interests changes that for me.
