lyrics

I don't know how well this song will translate if you don't live in the UK,
But lend an ear as I sing this song cos I'm gonna sing it anyway

We invented locomotion
We invented the train
So Johnny, Jimmy, and a million more
Could sing a good refrain
But if you're lucky enough to get a seat
As you ride that misery line
They'll treat you just like old pig iron
And for that you'll pay sky high

There's the wrong kind of leaves on the line on the line
There's the wrong kind of snow in the air
I think it's the wrong kind of management
And I don't think they care
And I don't think they care

There's no buffet and no restaurant
On a train fifteen coaches long
All you get is a lame excuse
From a silly looking uniform
Now I'm not knocking the working man
He's just-a doing what he's told
It comes from higher up above
And that's a tale that's old

There's the wrong kind of leaves on the line on the line
There's the wrong kind of snow in the air
I think it's the wrong kind of management
And I don't think they care
And I don't think they care

Now you may wonder at the rhythm change
In this middle eight
It's a replacement bus service
So it ain't got the rhythm of a train

Now once upon a time
Gangs of men would clear the mess
But you don't see them anymore
Because it costs much less
But what's the cost to the traveller
The commuter and the freight
As they stand and suffer incompetence
A-shouldering the weight

There's the wrong kind of leaves on the line on the line
There's the wrong kind of snow in the air
I think it's the wrong kind of management
And I don't think they care
And I don't think they care
