U CAN'T DRIVE THERE

Richard 'wrote' a song about cycle lanes in Wellington. This was spurred by a recent post where I ranted on the new bus and cycle lanes that Wellington Council has installed for no better reason than to piss off out of town visitors.

He also took a shot, on a post, at bicycle lanes. I agree with him there. You only see a few bicycles using them, with the loss of many carparks and now narrow roads.

Maybe there's a song in all that?


Am E7

So, you head on out to visit a shop.

Dm Am

All you need is somewhere to stop.

Dm Am

Ah, what a pain!

C D7 E7

All I see is bloody bike lanes!

It's a good effort.

As I can't write music I've chosen to borrow M.C. Hammer's 'U Can't Touch This' song music as seen here:

Changed lyrics to this music could be:

[Chorus]

You can't stop there

You can't drive here

You can't even look here

You can't go anywhere

[Verse 1]
Why, why, why does the council hit me so hard?
Makes me say "Oh my, what bastards"
Thank you NOT for messin' with me who has to find a place to be

It doesn't feel good, when you're from out of town

And don't know what's goin' down

I say it sucks and it cost me bucks

You can't drive here!

[Chorus]

You can't stop there

You can't drive here

You can't even look here

You can't go anywhere
