The Day We Caught The Train

(album: Moseley Shoals - 1996)

I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour, whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside, feeling it's a holiday
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number
Write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Ohh la la, ohh la la
Ohh la la, ohh la la

He sips another rum and coke
And told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho, sucking on a number ten
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again

Stepping through the door with the night in store, whiling just an hour away
Step into the sky in the starbright, feeling it's a brighter day
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number
Write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

Ohh la la, ohh la la
Ohh la la, ohh la la

You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
And you and I, when we're coming down
We're only getting back and you know I feel no sorrow

Ohh la la, ohh la la
Ohh la la, ohh la la

When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these?
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these?
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you need days like these?
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these?

Ohh la la, ohh la la...
