Middle Aged Man In Lycra

lyrics

I am riding on my bike in the English countryside
There is no better time to go out for a ride
Than when the day is fresh and I'm up for some cycling action

So I'm cycling in the sun through this green and pleasant land
There'll be no deviation from the route that I've planned
Head down so I don't succumb to natural distraction

I'm just doing what any mamil would do
In my tight pants and dayglo vest
Catching all the glances at my rock hard thighs
Can't help but think that I'm the best

I'll always take great pains to lubricate my chain
Set up my machine for wind snow or rain
In the garage preparing for all eventualities

The catalogue that came afforded me a lighter frame
Why would I give any of my bicycles a name?
Cycling is serious - it's a sport not a leisure activity

I'm just doing what any mamil would do
In my tight pants and dayglo vest
Happy to put aside all of my family ties
In hot pursuit of my personal best

I like to ride my bicycle
The lycra on my back
I love to take my bicycle
To workshop road and track

Churning through the middle of the horizontal drizzle
I'm competing so the weather matters very little
The important thing is to try to get and stay ahead

Addicted or a nutter am I the former or the latter
I don't need friends and my family don't matter
Can't face the disappointment if I lose, I may as well be dead.

I'm just doing what any mamil would do
In my tight pants and dayglo vest
It's more than aerobic exercise
It's about getting there faster than the rest

Oblivious of what my life denies
People maybe saying I'm obsessed.
I'm just doing what any mamil would do
In my tight pants and dayglo vest
