GOODBYE MY BIKE (SEASONS IN THE SUN)

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Nicked from faceBook

Goodbye to you my rusty friend
our time together must now come to end,
together we climbed hills and trees
learned our sorting abc's
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees!


Goodbye my bike this is goodbye
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
now that the spring is in the air
hct's are everywhere
think of me and i'll be there!


We had joy we had fun
delivering letters in the sun
but the hills that we climb
meant we worked up til our time!


Goodbye my bike please pray for me
i'm now the rep for health and safety!
Trying to teach them right from wrong
too much beer and too much song
wonder how you got me home!

Goodbye my bike this is goodbye
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
now that the spring is in the air
f***ing trollies everywhere
if you saw them you would swear!


We had joy we had fun delivering parcels in the sun
but the wine and the song like my bike they have all gone! (x2)
goodbye my bike my little one
you took me there and delivered in the sun
and every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet right off the ground!

Goodbye my bike this is goodbye,
when all the birds are singing in the sky
now that the spring is in the air
I push trollies everywhere
but how I wish that you were there!


We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
but the ones we can't teach
they'll put our jobs out of reach! (x2)
we had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
but the beer and the song like my bike they have all gone.

All our lives we had fun delivering specials in the sun
but the hills that we climb we just worked our bloody time.
We had joy we had fun .....(etc to fade)

Sounds rather like that song to me - We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun etc. by Jacques Brel 1974 nice song, I can't believe it's 40 years ago.

It is that song you numpty.
Though Jacques Brel's version is magnificent and the English language translations schmaltzy.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

And I would have thought so - does plagiarism mean so little these days? :angel
