Bicycles Lyrics
Service suspended
Service shall resume
Service running late again
Service running smooth
This place becomes so lonely, with these feeling of mistrust
The monsters in the corners who made us feel we must
Spot the train, train
Spotter
Spot the train, and stop the monster
And everyone's buying bicycles
They went and bought bicycles
City looking empty
City running scared
Cities got new friends
That they cities really cared
Looks a trifle shifty, and their not about to change
Cos no one likes what they are not, so slowly we estrange
Spot the train, train
Spotter
Spot the train, spot the monster
The quickest route to paradise
Such a short commute to paradise
And a sharp salute to paradise
And everyone's buying bicycles
Service shall resume
Service running late again
Service running smooth
This place becomes so lonely, with these feeling of mistrust
The monsters in the corners who made us feel we must
Spotter
Spot the train, and stop the monster
They went and bought bicycles
City running scared
Cities got new friends
That they cities really cared
Looks a trifle shifty, and their not about to change
Cos no one likes what they are not, so slowly we estrange
Spotter
Spot the train, spot the monster
Such a short commute to paradise
And a sharp salute to paradise

Most definately related to terrorism. "The quickest route to paradise Is a short commute to paradise And a sharp salute to paradise" Muslim extremist terrorism is based around the idea that once they have martyred themselves to kill the 'infidels' they will be sent to paradise where there are 72 virgins....waheyyy! (u probably all knew that...just wanted to make sure.
My interpretation which i feel quite confident about is that it is an attack on the terrorism and saying how it has affected london. "Space becomes so lonely, with these feeling of mistrust Because the monster in the cupboard has made us feel we must" This talks about how we don't speak on the trains because there is so much mistrust due to bombers.

Pretty obvious- but this one's about being fed up with public transport (trains namely), and everyone buying bicycles.
isnt it "spot the train, trainspotter-ooooh!" ?
this song, i think, is about the london bombings... "spot the train, spot the monster" referring to the terrorists basically just refers to what i think are the 7/7 bombings all the way through the song

Bicycle rush!
yeah i thought it was "trainspotter ooooh" too ?
i could listen to this one all day long and not get fed up. so catchy
i think its that everyone nowadays is so pararnoid about everything. things are so unpredictable (first verse) meaning that no one trusts anything anymore: "cause no one likes what they're not" maybe the paranoia stems from the bombing, but i think now its just become second nature for people not to trust anyone anymore because of society in general. the first time it says stop the monster not spot but i dont know why and im pretty sure it does say trainspotter ooooooh, thats the best bit :)
it's about drug use...trainspotting refers to finding the vein and what not...and a trainspotter is one who uses the veins in order to get their fix
