lyrics

Walkman and Bicycle –
The shops are shut and office girls are leaving
To be with boys in shiny suits
Who love their cars and buy them to be seen in.
This evening, they’ll be on the town
With a drink and ‘a new one’
And maybe later on they’ll give Lisa Bonet some.

Lights off, the traffic stops
And Ryder’s singing, “Call the Cops!’ with reason.
But speeding doesn’t help at all: when I get home
You’ll still have called up three times this evening.
But I won’t be out tonight; I’ve got something else planned.
Do I have to tell you why? Can’t you understand?

You can’t just walk through my life and expect me to fall at your feet
I can’t tailor myself to suit your every need
Maybe what you need is something I can’t be…

We’re not the people we thought we’d become
Now I can’t even see them.
Just Walkman and Bicycle, seems that is all
I’ve got left to believe in.
Believe me, I can’t come out tonight, I’ve got something else planned.
Does it really matter why? Can’t you understand?

You can’t just walk through my life and expect me to fall at your feet
I can’t tailor myself to suit your every need.
And our Lust is merely a part of what together we are -
You mean much more to me than a beautiful body.
Could be anybody lying beside me.
Maybe what you need is something I can’t see….

I don’t what to be but I just can’t be myself
When all you ever want from me is somebody else.
