Paul Gross - Man on a Bicycle


Artist: Paul Gross - David Keeley

Song: Man on a Bicycle

Album: Two Houses

Paul says he has no idea what this song is about, although his father (ex-army, residing near the banks of the Red Deer River, but not given to wandering about in a state of undress and carrying a fishing pole) was more than a little suspicious that it may have been written about him! Paul believes there should have been a caveat on the CD: 'The following song has absolutely nothing to do with my father!'
 
Well, I did see a man on a bicycle
riding through heavy snow
his wife said, hey kids what the heck is he doing,
everyone laughed till they cried
Fait vos jeux madam
(and) Hey monsieur, place your bets
Love is a sure thing and these dice never lie
Fait vos jeux madam
hey monsieur, I can bet
10 to 1 you're as crazy as I
Well, I did see my father walking
walking without any clothes down by the banks of that big Red Deer River
holding an old fishing pole
My father was a man
once ran an army, he loved his children
but his duty came first
till one day when I bought him a bicycle he said,
"kiss my ass, I'm as free as a bird"
Fait vos jeux, madam
(and) Hey monsieur, place your bets
Love is a sure thing and these dice never lie
Fait vos jeux madam
(and) Hey monsieur, I can bet
10 to 1 you're as crazy as I
