lyrics

I used to wish that I could take a risk
and take a different train -
end up in a different place
just for the day.

On the 0616 and the 1702
I'm just a regular guy like you
with my briefcase, sandwiches and Financial Review,
my cartoon tie and my slightly shiny suit,
carrying a piece of fruit.

But on weekends I ride
my big black motorbike.
My wife, she doesn't really understand.
She says that it just goes to show
I'm getting out of hand

From the age of twenty seven
to the age of thirty five
I dreamed of a dog and a quarter acre,
two point two and a wife.

The only dream I've ever had
and really held on to.
Sometimes you want to punch yourself
when sometimes dreams come true.

But on weekends I ride
my big black motorbike.
My wife, she doesn't really understand.
She says that it just goes to show
I'm less of a man.

The other day when I was standing at the kitchen sink
I realised a guy in my position doesn't get enough time to think.

Well she's been told the bike's been sold
but I've got it stashed in my shed.
I'm wondering can I come around
and keep it in your instead.

You can ride it through the week
I know you'll take good care.
I'll just come round Saturdays
and she'll just think we're having an affair.

And on weekends I'll ride
my big black motorbike.
My wife, she doesn't really understand.
She says that it just goes to show I'm less of a man.
on weekends I'll ride
my brand new motorbike.
My wife, she doesn't really understand.
She says she liked it better when I was in a band.
