Reportedly written about Joe Strummer…


Biker they tell me
You’re a dangerous lover
Well that might be true
Oh, but I’d never ride with another

Maybe they’ve never had
Their arms around
Anything so wild and free
You bring the biker out in me

I can’t understand it
Why people give you grief
You play the one-armed bandit
Like an outlaw with a belief
To them it’s the norm for
A man to conform
To a godless society
You bring the biker out in me
You bring the biker out in me

Because you’ve no interest
In the struggle to obtain
The status and bogus desires
That drive most people insane
You who have nothing
Have something that only the one percent
Could ever see
You bring the biker out in me
