lyrics
MAN VS TRAIN
Wheels were a’ blurring
A dancing of spokes
As my tyres turned to powder
And ground to a halt
And what once had beat torpid
Now thrashed through my chest
As my idiot vehicle
Came to an unwelcome rest
And the sky looked amused
In it’s mute sullen way
At ground not built for feet
But the tracks of a train
And I waved and I waved and I waved…
At that spectre a’ heading my way
Well I’d left the city
A ghost of a mess
With you raving and ranting
And me doing my best
To turn you into a speck
A distant dull roar
Like the sea beneath a cliff top
Or traffic from the top floor
And when I burst from the seat
Ran to the top of the road
Swivelled at the impact
That impossible load
And that train it was a’ flaming
All fire engine red
As it ran through the forest
A metal torch around the bend
And it sang beneath that funeral moon
Like a match in a cavernous room
You’ve been unwilling
To lay it to rest
And I am unable
To comprehend this
All of your violent feeling
Shadowed on the wall
When to me it don’t make
Much sense at all
