Darren Hanlon - The Kickstand Song lyrics

Up until now my ideas have been latent The cycling word has never been the same But come first light I'll be taking out a patent And from that day If a bike be found lying on the ground again, I'm not to blame What joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring Bolted down by the back wheel, activated by the heel What chicken laid the egg from whence inside an idea hatches From prototype to production line to the first one hundred batches I will do for parking bikes what anchors did for sailing There's handlebars for steering and tyre tread for traction A tiny bell for friends you pa** and greet But when they add my ingenious contraption Mouths will fall And eyebrows will rise and staring eyes will meet, the bike complete There'll be articles in newspapers and dinners at the town hall My first cheque's for a thousands pounds Now that's one spicy meatball But all the fame and fortune in the world will not compare… Now bikes around the world will stand alone without their owners And I can get some cash on the side but that's just a bonus When underneath their helmuts I will see their smiling faces
