Broken Bicycles Lyrics
Broken bicycles,
Old busted chains,
With busted handle bars
Out in the rain.
Somebody must
Have an orphanage for
All these things that nobody
Wants any more
September's reminding July
It's time to be saying good-bye.
Summer is gone,
Our love will remain.
Like old broken bicycles
Out in the rain.
Broken Bicycles,
Don't tell my folks;
There's all those playing cards
Pinned to the spokes,
Laid down like skeletons
out on the lawn.
The wheels won't turn
When the other has gone.
The seasons can turn on a dime,
Somehow I forget every time;
For all the things that you've given me
Will always stay
Broken, but I'll never throw them away
Old busted chains,
With busted handle bars
Out in the rain.
Somebody must
Have an orphanage for
All these things that nobody
Wants any more
September's reminding July
It's time to be saying good-bye.
Our love will remain.
Like old broken bicycles
Out in the rain.
Don't tell my folks;
There's all those playing cards
Pinned to the spokes,
Laid down like skeletons
out on the lawn.
The wheels won't turn
When the other has gone.
The seasons can turn on a dime,
Somehow I forget every time;
For all the things that you've given me
Will always stay
Broken, but I'll never throw them away

I think it's about bittersweet memories of a broken relationship ("wheels won't turn when the other has gone"), and that even though you might have moved on and don't want reminders ("things that nobody wants any more") you still cherish the memory of the time you were in love. "All those playing cards pinned to the spokes" sound like affairs or deceptions that built up over the years, and somehow there was a tipping point ("seasons can turn on a dime").
The best song from the One From The Heart soundtrack if you ask me. The meaning is pretty obvious
I LOVE this song..
All heart over smart. The perfect song.
