lyrics

No white flags why you running for your life
Cruising around on that Boris Bike
Your beans and toast you gotta spread em with a knife
Half past five I'm ready to fight fight fight fight

Spun his jaw out and said that I don't care
It's not my fault that they pay for health care
They think they're good
Good enough to pass down the royal crown
They were feeling down
Down in the dumps of the brummie ground

You can tell it to my mom and dad they don't need it
You can tell it to my great old aunt she couldn't handle that
You can tell me when I'm piss and drunk I don't need it
You could tell me it's a pay to ride I won't bite you can tell me it's a pay to die that's a Boris Bike

Birmingham is my city and I do as I please
Those reds need to pull themselves up I ain't had nothing for free
Forty four days and forty four nights to the boots off the ground
More and more I pay through the noise to get a bike in this town

You can tell it to my mom and dad they don't need it
You can tell it to my great old aunt she couldn't handle that
You can tell me when I'm piss and drunk I don't need it
You could tell me it's a pay to ride I won't bite you can tell me it's a pay to die that's a Boris Bike

I just wanna ride a bike but it's so hard
Covered in sticks and stones I could have gone so far
I just wanna ride a bike but it's so hard
Covered in sticks and stones I could have gone so
I'm gonna ride my Boris Bike
I'm gonna ride my boris Bike
I'm gonna ride my Boris Bike
I'm gonna ride my Boris Bike

You can tell it to my mom and dad they don't need it
You can tell it to my great old aunt she couldn't handle that
You can tell me when I'm piss and drunk I don't need it
Oh I'm gonna ride my Boris Bike
