Nine Million Bicycles Lyrics
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you
Till I die
We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That's a guess
No one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
I'm warm by the fire
Of your love every day
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say
There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
That you're the one I love the most of all
We're high on a wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you
Till I die
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you
Till I die
That's a guess
No one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you
Of your love every day
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
That you're the one I love the most of all
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire
Of the love that you give me every night
That's a fact
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you
Till I die

i think this song is shocking. It doesnt make any sense at all.
to the previous person think about it .
besides what love song makes sense? i think this song actually makes more sense as most love songs
wow i just discovered this song. it's so nice...she has such a different voice. i like it.
There are six billion people in the world More or less And it makes me feel quite small That you're the one I love the most of all
how cute is that?
Seen this live, this woman is unbelievably cute.
This song undeniably lovely.
i just felt so small.. as i reached for the sky... thats why this song is the best
The song was written by Mike Batt, who discovered her and produced Katie's first three albums. He wrote many of the best songs on those albums. He has a wonderful way with his lyric rhymes. Rhymes double words like "most down" and "Ghost town". I've listened to the second verse many times and sometimes I hear the last line as "be with you", but other times it seems like it's "stay with you" which completes the double rhyme from the previous line "say it's true". In any case, it's a great song. Incidently I think we are closer to 13.7 billion light years from the ever expanding edge of the universe but the song line needs a one syllable word and like he says, who the hell knows for sure.
