Bike (2010 Remaster) Lyrics
Pink Floyd
Lyrics
I've got a bike, you can ride if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it
You're the kind of girl
That fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything
If you want a thing
I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front, it's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should
I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish
I know a room of musical tunes
Some wine, some gin, most of them are clock work
Let's go into the other room and make them work
Song & Lyrics Facts
Pink Floyd's song "Bike", written by Syd Barrett, was originally released on the 1967 album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It has since been remastered and re-released in 2010.
This whimsical track is a classic example of Barrett's unique lyrical style, featuring lines about flying bicycles, tangerine trees, marmalade skies, and cellophane flowers. Musically, it consists of simple guitar chords and playful sound effects. The lyrics are surreal and nonsensical yet strangely captivating, making this one of Pink Floyd's most beloved songs. The 2010 remaster includes additional instrumentation as well as improved sound quality, allowing listeners to experience the song in a whole new way.
