It is a bit of a weird line. And it doesn't fit in with the tune does it?
A bit like that song Gold by Spandau Ballet (I think that's the one I mean) 'you're indestructablelelele'
Ok I'm talking rubbish here.

Right, hitchhiker42, when you get there, sit on a wall or bench, with a notepad and pencil and mark down how many bicycles you see. And I hope you have a jolly nice time! Seriously, enjoy yourself. I'm lucky if I go to Bridlington for a few hours... on my own.

The Chinese word for bike has become an argot expression for the unhappy bachelor - used for instance in the original title to the Chinese movie Beijing bicycle: Shiqi sui de danche (A Single Man Aged Seventeen).

Norra Lorra purple know that.

just to get back to the question i vaguely remember an interview on the telly where she said it was a reference to a magazine article from somewhere, i think its a song writing ploy to make you ask the question "how does she know?" thus making people talk about the song, and therefore buy it
