Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built For Two)
Blur · Other Songs - Blur
There is a flower within my heart
Daisy, Daisy
Planted one day by a glancing Dad
Planted by daisy bell
Whether she loves me or loves me not
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Yet I am longing to share the lot
A beautiful daisy bell
[Chorus]
Daisy, Daisy give me your heart to do
I'm half crazy, hopeful in love with you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford the carriage
But you look sweet upon the street
On a bicycle built for two
We will go tandem as man and wife
Daisy, Daisy
Peddling our way down the road of life
I and my daisy bell
When the roads and we both despise
Please men the lambs as well
There are bright lights in those dazzling ice
A beautiful daisy bell
[Chorus]
I'll stand by you in wear or well Daisy, Daisy
You'll be the bell we'll try to rip you know
Sweet little daisy bell, You'll take the lead in each trip we take
And if I dropped out, I will say here's the drink by beautiful daisy bell
[Chorus: x2]
But you look sweet upon the street
On a bicycle built for two
On a bicycle built for two
On a bicycle built for two
For two, for two, for two, for two
Daisy, Daisy
Planted one day by a glancing Dad
Planted by daisy bell
Whether she loves me or loves me not
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Yet I am longing to share the lot
A beautiful daisy bell
[Chorus]
Daisy, Daisy give me your heart to do
I'm half crazy, hopeful in love with you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford the carriage
But you look sweet upon the street
On a bicycle built for two
We will go tandem as man and wife
Daisy, Daisy
Peddling our way down the road of life
I and my daisy bell
When the roads and we both despise
Please men the lambs as well
There are bright lights in those dazzling ice
A beautiful daisy bell
[Chorus]
I'll stand by you in wear or well Daisy, Daisy
You'll be the bell we'll try to rip you know
Sweet little daisy bell, You'll take the lead in each trip we take
And if I dropped out, I will say here's the drink by beautiful daisy bell
[Chorus: x2]
But you look sweet upon the street
On a bicycle built for two
On a bicycle built for two
On a bicycle built for two
For two, for two, for two, for two
Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Built For Two)
Released in 1991, this track by Blur serves as a quintessential example of the band's 'Madness' era, blending punk energy with melodic sensibilities. The song features a driving rhythm section and a distinctive vocal performance that highlights the group's ability to reinvent their sound while maintaining a cohesive identity. It stands alongside other key releases from the period, contributing to the album's reputation as a defining moment in Britpop history. The composition reflects the band's engagement with British cultural history and their evolution from the garage rock revival of the early 90s toward a more polished, yet raw, pop-rock style.
