A great song from 1967, originally recorded by the band ... Tomorrow. This is the 'single', version by my imaginary 60's psychedelic band... The Lazarus Ladders. The first 'single', taken from their 2nd. album, 'Insert Coin To Continue'.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A great psychedelic pop song from 1967. As usual The Lazarus Ladders have taken a few liberties with the arrangement.
Lyrics
My White Bicycle (c) Keith West / Ken Burgess (1967) My white bicycle, my white bicycle Ridin' all around the streets (my white bicycle) Four o'clock and they're all asleep (my white bicycle) I'm not tired and it's so late (my white bicycle) Movin' fast everything looks great (my white bicycle) My white bicycle My white bicycle see that man, he's all alone Looks so happy but he's far from home I ring my bell and smile at him Then I go by his rubbish bin My white bicycle My white bicycle Psychedelic guitar solo, Lava Lamp Light-Show and Astral Plane phazing ... The efforts' tanked, it's a disgrace Shines no light upon my face Through the darkness, we still see My white bicycle and me My white bicycle My white bicycle Policeman shouts but I don't see him They're one thing I don't believe in My white bicycle My white bicycle Ridin' all around the streets Four o'clock and they're all asleep I'm not tired and it's so late Movin' fast everything looks great My white bicycle My white bicycle My white bicycle

I don't think I've ever heard the original, but I really like that signature psychedelic vibe you've got here. It has a great slightly spaced out feel to it, excellent guitar work. Definitely takes us back to a time when things seemed more hopeful.
