Middle Aged Man in Lycra

from A Live Concert by Andrew London Trio

/

about

for all the MAMILs out there

lyrics

when temorary insanity or mid-life crisis bites
or an unrequited craving for attention
When lust for an adventure, an escape from daily life
begins to get my gluteus a-clenchin’

It’s down to my back shed I go, start oiling up the chain
my passed use-by testosterone begins to stir again,
Preparing to indulge the ‘Love That Dare Not Squeak it’s Name’
I’m a Middle Aged Man in Lycra

I’m a middle aged man in lycra
parading my anatomy in hi-vis technicolored glee
That reassuring clinging keeps me confident while singing
I’m a middle aged man in lycra

I’m a middle aged man in lycra
winding country roads are best, we like to ride them three abreast
that reassuring clinging keeps me confident while singing
I’m a middle aged man in lycra

I had to sell my Porsche for the deposit on my bike
Applied for all the credit cards and maxed ‘em
I get my silhouette’s not yet as streamlined as I’d like
at least my legs are wind-resistant, since I waxed ‘em.

so when you see me riding, though I may present a sight
not unlike a saveloy that’s stuffed a little tight
at the lights let me go first, but keep your distance, lest I burst
I’m a Middle Aged Man in Lycra

I’m a middle aged man in lycra
accentuate those bumps and swells, keep out the rain, keep in the smells
that reassuring clinging keeps me confident while singing
I’m a middle aged man in lycra

I’m a middle aged man in lycra
parading my anatomy in hi-vis technicolour glee
that outer skin compresses my mamilian excesses
I’m a MAMIL
that reassuring clinging keeps the dangly bits from swinging
I’m a middle aged man,
I shoulda bought a van, I’m a middle aged man… in lycra
