For all those lovely earworms...
Marlboro lady Bonnie Tyler up first (the original 'I need a Hero', when you read the lyrics, is ridiculously saucy!)
Where have all cyclists gone
And where are all the Brads?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To hipster fixie fads?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a steely steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of 8-5-3
I need a cyclist
I’m holding out for a cyclist ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the ride
I need a cyclist
I’m holding out for a cyclist ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be Hoy
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s got thighs larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone riding back for me
Racing on the Raleigh and climbing with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman and a Brooks as my seat
I need a cyclist
I’m holding out for a cyclist ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the ride
I need a cyclist
I’m holding out for a cyclist ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be Hoy
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s got thighs larger than life
Up Where the chainring meets the sky above
Out where the derailleur splits the gears
I would swear that there’s someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can get out my gilet
And put on 'guards of mud
I need a cyclist
I’m holding out for a cyclist ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the ride
I need a cyclist
I’m holding out for a cyclist ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be Hoy
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s got thighs larger than life
