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
