I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things

I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front, it's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good, then I guess it should

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things

I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things

I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things

I know a room full of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork
Let's go into the other room and make them work

    not sure who said it earlier, doesn't look like anyone is talking about the meaning now anyhow...i think this song is clearly about a boy who has it really bad for a girl and he's willing to do anything for her but he keeps getting rejected...so he finally invites her into his "room of musical tunes" where they hav sex? he kills her? that's where his insanity kicks in...but, let's remember that it seems most of syd's songs are about being wronged by a girl, so i sometimes think the chaotic ending expresses his desire to kill her (tho i don't think he ever did)
