Nine Million Bicycles Lyrics

Lyric discussion by danltd 

Cover art for Nine Million Bicycles lyrics by Katie Melua

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.
