The iCiCLE WORKS - Hollow Horse

(1984) ’The Small Price of a Bicycle’. Be careful what you dream of it may come up and surprise you I can’t confess my life’s a mess I’ve come to idolise you You liken it to walking on hot coals I’ll keep my boots on Wisen up and fly straight There’s a shape on the horizon In a hollow horse I’ll steal my way inside your guarded heart So selfishly the needs I harbour when we are apart My past strung out behind me, contradiction and disaster I’m in search of charity, a union I could master We’ll be as we are When all the fools who doubt us fade away Fortune deep and wide Intimidated, restless in the wait Things I chose to value I no longer have a use for I ridicule myself for all the things those symbols stood for When vanity has played a part in every leader’s downfall Wait to storm the gates, what’s left undone to hang around for We’ll be as we are
