Pleasure Beyond Smile

Copyright David E. Miller, 1987

No matter how far you've ridden and how bad the weather and the road were, and how tired you are, when you stop you know in the back of your mind, you'd rather be still riding.

Verse 1 b
		Its gonna snow. Its already cold

		Its gonna be bad but you won't be told

		Your fingers won't brake, you can't change gear

		And you did it all for a dodgey beer


Verse 2
		The machine you've got is a wreck

		It wouldn't handle worse if it was still in a box!

		The only time its gonna bring you any cash

		Is when its been parked in the Mersey Docks!

		We know that its gonna rain

		Why do we do it again and again

		You'd understand if you'd ever been on

		The Last Two Hundred Miles to Aberdeen


Verse 3
		Always hating traffic

		Sometimes use the white line

		Never showing your 'slight' concern for

		Possible diesel slime
		

		Steering by the hedgerows, like a

		Shooting star in the night.

		Feeling like you've got Mick's old Jota

		To travel at the speed of light.
