You Come and Go Like a Pop Song is an album by The Bicycle Thief, released in 1999 and again with a different tracklisting in 2001.

John Frusciante appears on "Cereal Song". He plays one of the solo-guitars. This song is sometimes incorrectly credited on the internet as a John Frusciante solo effort, titled "John Frusciante - Heroin," because of John Frusciante's history with the drug and the similarities to his solo work.

The Bicycle Thief's main song writing is done by Bob Forrest, a sometimes collaborator of John Frusciante, formerly of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Forrest is mentioned in Anthony Kiedis's scar tissue, but briefly. Also on the album is new Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who also has collaborated with Frusciante on much of his solo work, namely "A Sphere in the Heart of Silence." The album reflects the hopeless attitude of the nineties, with a tinge of the ambition brought about in the 2000's.

Bob is now a radio host streaming at www.indie1031.com, as well as a drug counselor in California.
