Trains - Ian Anderson

Here I am at the end of the day

With a cup of cold coffee

From the station buffet

On trains, on trains I seem

To spend my life on trains

See the blue suit banker in the ticket line

Got an evening standard with playboy

Hidden behind

On trains, on trains he seems

To spend his life on trains

Time after time

Was I just dreaming?

Did I help you aboard?

Full passenger service ---

Let me help with the door

Sit down take the weight off your feet

There’s a train full of people I’d like

You to meet

On trains, on trains we love

To spend our lives on trains

Join the secret world of trains

Feel the pleasure.

touch the pain

Drift into yesterday

Once and again

I was just thinking

We could meet sometime

On the 17.30 where

I usually find

My friends at the end of the day

May we pay your fare, lady?

We should like you to stay

In our train.

on trains ---

You’ll have to spend your life

On trains

I hear there’s an office party on the 18.05

You’ll be home for christmas if they

Take you alive from the train

Those trains, we have to spend our lives

On trains

Once and again

I was just thinking

We could meet any time

On number two platform

Where I usually find

My friends at the end of the day

On trains, trains, trains
