Lyrics

Yes You Can

(Verse)
The sun on my skin, the wind on my cheeks.
The saddle so comf'table under my seat.
No sweaty fabric to chafe on my bum;
no bulky old padding to make me go numb. (If you know what I mean.)
You ask why no clothes; cos I'm warm enough, friend;
and keeping warm's all clothes are for in the end.
Nudity's freedom, cycling's the same;
cycling while bared is like freedom squared.

(Chorus)
Flying through nature, no cares or concerns;
facing the world on your own terms and feeling the
love: "wow, I think that it's great what you do;
I wish I were so brave and then I'd do it too."
... But you can! But you can! Yes you can!

(Verse)
As children we don't care what we see with our eyes.
We're all beautiful 'till we're taught otherwise.
If we'd just keep that innocent, questioning wonder
at all the world's magic and throw off the tragic way...
that our society messes us up;
with hang ups and prejudice, negatives, menaces.
Think of a world where we live and let live;
where no-one's ashamed of what they're born with.

(Chorus)
Flying through nature, no cares or concerns;
facing the world on your own terms and feeling the
love: "wow, I think that it's great what you do;
I wish I were so brave and then I'd do it too."
... But you can! But you can! But you can! Yes you can!

(Verse)
Drivers pass slowly with phones in their paws.
Voyeurs all, and ignoring the laws.
Should I wave or ignore them? I don't know what's best.
Perhaps try some of each and put it to the test!

(Bridge)
Driver, can you see me now? Driver, can you see me now?
Driver, can you see me now?
Driver, can you see me now? Driver, can you see me now?
Driver, can you see me now? Driver, can you see me now?
Can you see me now? Can you see me now? Can you see me
now? Can you see me now? Can you see me now? Can you
see me now? Can you see me now? Can you see me now?
Can you see me now? Can you see me now?
Can you see me now? ...

(Verse)
It took me too long to feel good in my skin.
So if you object, if you think it's a sin,
then get over yourself 'cos it's not about you,
in fact try it and maybe then you'd feel good too.
With the sun on your body, the wind on your face;
using your muscles to move and embracing
the shedding of all of those daft inhibitions,
without any need to ask for permission.

(Chorus)
Flying through nature, no cares or concerns;
facing the world on your own terms and feeling the
love: "wow, I think that it's great what you do;
I wish I were so brave and then I'd do it too."
... But you can! But you can! But you can! Yes you can!
But you can! But you can! Yes you can!
