Long Dead Train

Hugh Cornwell


Keeping out of trouble
Moving on the double
Got a feeling that this tunnels got an ending soon
Feel like I've been hanging on a lead balloon

Standing to attention
Sitting by the engine
Got to get a uniform to go with the good news
Better even buy some brand new shoes
I just got off a long gone dead train

I've been seeing double
Slipping in the rubble
Got a ticket left to use and I'm not wasting it
I like life and I like tasting it
I just got off a long gone dead train
I just got off a long gone dead train

Sometimes you're gonna have to get lost
Sometimes the dice are already tossed
Don't worry there's no hurry
Somedays there's some love to be found
Some nights you gotta sleep on the ground
Don't worry there's no hurry
I just got off a long gone dead train
I just got off a long gone dead train
I just got off a long gone dead train

Find a little lady
Someone who says maybe
Get some loving for yourself and get it right away
Just make sure you suffer no delay
I just got off a long gone dead train
