The Kickstand Song Songtext
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 pass 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
