My woman's got a roadie and I got dirt up my crack
Can't feel my fingers, can't feel my back
Lonesome trail's took the grip off ma shoes
Man oh man I got those winter blues
Even Myra Hindley's goin' to Swinley
Man oh man I got those winter blues
EDIT: playing around with this last night. I'm no Howlin' Wolf, but it sounded pretty good.
Nice!
Any inspiration for verse 2?
I got leaks up ma'cleats, I got Ice on mah levers.
So much dead wood Ah think there must be beavers.
There's more grit in ma drivetrain than in Jeff Bridges hat.
I'd relube the chain I I could see where it's at.
I got a camelbak jammed up with puncture patch glue.
Hub deep in slop and so winter time blue

Seriously loving that! 8)
* suspects oliverd1981 is actually Screamin' Jay Hawkins *
This is mainly what I learned at 6th form. Also took some inspiration from washing the DH bike this morning.
Inspired by oliverd1981's 6th form knowledge, I finally have verse 3:
Used to be sick now I ride like a divi
Won't show mah po' face in Delamere or Rivi
Stuck in sixth gear I ain't even seen my derailleur
Gotta jump in slow motion like a Hollywood trailer
Even William McKinley's goin' to Swinley
Man oh man I got those winter blues
My ears a hurtin' chillblains a burnin'
My handle bars bendin' the year nearly endin'
Got this girl thats as loose as my front derailluer,
Proved by the fact that my best mates been Nailin'her
This cold has put holes in the soles of my shoe,
Any one wonder why winter time blue.
😉
I got a winter hardtail bunged up with grit
I got a full sus rig that creaks like shit
Too cold in my shed to work on the quiver
My girl out on the road so I sit here an shiver
Can't clip in ma pedals with clogged up shoes
man i man I got those winter blues
Bravissimo! ^^^^^^^ 😀
Splashin' through rivers don't leave a ripple
And there ain't even a cure for MTB nipple
Gotta look hot though this terrain is gnarly
One wrong move and I'll burn like Chris Farley
Ice around my fingers cant feel my toes
Gets dark so early aint no point in trying
wearing so many layers and I am still dying
the trails a mess them ramblers are cursing
my drive train is jammed the cables too
may have to stay in and make love to you
Damn those four by fours, they go out in all weathers,
Shoulda been a motorbiker, woulda been kept warm by my leathers.
The trails are all muddy, let's hope it don't get icy
Steering on that is sure looking dicy
One careless move I could be off to meet my maker
Yet again, I say, thank **** for Trailrakers!
(anyone else noticing a definite shift in rhythmic emphasis as these verses develop? No...? Is that the time? I must be getting off to work)
