The Engine Driver's Song

Television Personalities


She says she's leaving on the first train 
From Liverpool Street in the morning 
She says they've had all their chances 
Should have heeded her final warning 
They say they'll see her to the station 
At least let them wave her goodbye 
But as the train pulled out 
Not a single tear fell from her eyes 

Now she's been sad and been confused 
She's been accused of things she didn't do 
So now she's going home not a moment too soon 
To the ones who love her most, engine driver please 
Does this train take me home, engine driver please 
Does this train take me 

Her parents said it would only end in tears 
So now she's going home without any souvenirs 
She hopes her parents are there to meet her from the train 
She falls into their arms and tries her best to explain 

How she felt sad and so bemused 
She was accused of things she didn't do 
So now she's come back home not a moment too soon 
To the ones who love her most, engine driver please 
Does this train take me home, engine driver please 
Does this train take me 

Kathy's come home 
Kathy come home
