Lyrics:
In eighteen hundred and forty-one
The corduroy breeches I put on
Me corduroy breeches I put on
To work upon the railway, the railway
I'm weary
hard
Down the concrete hallways in this part of town
You can hear the young hearts drowning in thirst for life
The back streets full of mystery,
just give my restless soul a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess I will spend my life in railway
I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And every stop
All alone, or in two's
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands
Ouais
Je t'emmènerai sur le Scenic Railway
Si c'est ce que tu veux
C'est facile
Ouais
Je t'emmènerai sur le Scenic Railway
On verra ça demain
Leaving Strutton Ground
Through Mermaid Street
To the World's End
Through the Avenue of the 18th day
By an August moon
Richmond Bridge
All alone, or in two's
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands
beat the drum
I'd beat the drum like war
But when the church got through
They traded their beads for bottles
Smashed on Railway Avenue
And they
I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is
I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And every stop
Early morning day is dawning
Cooling towers and factory gates
Dirty streets and laughing people
Skinny dogs and beer crates
Hello my old
I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is
ticket to sail away
Hand grip, Hitchcock railway
Soft ride, made for comfort
Been tried, guaranteed passport
Hitchcock railway, please don't fail to pay
just give my restless soul a little patience
Just another town, another train
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Guess I will spend my life in railway
beat the drum
I'd beat the drum like war
But when the church got through
They traded their beads for bottles
Smashed on Railway Avenue
And they
it lift you up
Or is it railway carriage charm
You just sit here
And look from your carriage
As you watch the scene go by
Gurus from the east
On the Railway yeah
On the Railway yeah
On the Railway yeah
Trying to find my seat
Turn my laptop on
I want to cook this beat
On the Railway yeah,
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Tommy can you see me?
Can I help to cheer you?
Oooh Tommy
Tommy
Tommy
Tommy
Tommy can
Skimbleshanks the Railway cat, the cat of the railway train
There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty - nine
When the night mail's ready
on the railway
I worked for the foundry and man my mind it nearly drowned
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It never, it could never work out right
So I said "so long,
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Tommy can you see me?
Can I help to cheer you?
Oooh Tommy
Tommy
Tommy
Tommy
Tommy can
Take me back, take me way, way, way back
On Hyndford Street
Where you could feel the silence at half past eleven
On long summer nights
