Train Running Low on Soul Coal — текст песни (Xtc)

Me train running low on soul coal

They push+pull tactics are driving me loco

They shouldnt do that no no no

They shouldnt do that



Me train running low on dream steam

They pull me whistle too hard me bound to scream

And they shouldnt do that no no no

They shouldnt do that



Think Im going south for the winter

Think Im going mad in this hinterland

Between young and old

Im a thirty year old puppy doing what Im told

And Im told theres no more coal

For the older engines

Me train running low on soul coal



Think Im going south for the winter

Think Im going west and my sprinters speed

Is reduced to a crawl

My rails went straight, but straight into the wall

Its the wall on which they dash the older engines



And all my servants are leaving

Imagination gone packing

Cant find the wound from where Im bleeding

Hes just a nut and hes cracking



Hammer goes down

Brakes all scream

Me and a couple of empty carriages

Slide down hill still

Next stop bad dreamsville



Think Im going south for the winter

Me train running low on soul coal.
