What is the song Bicycle Gasoline about?
The song Bicycle Gasoline appeared on the Audio Lessonover album in 2001. This song has often confused people with its strange lyrics: ‘She don’t need no bicycle gasoline, She just needs her violets’. Martin Smith explained the meaning of the song in an interview in 2006. “It was just a tiny little love song. Girls, they don’t want flowers all the time, they just need telling that you love them and vice-versa. A bicycle doesn’t need gasoline and she doesn’t need all that stuff really. She doesn’t need ‘things’, jewellery or dresses, she just needs love” he explains.
