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
