CRAPPY DIESEL TRAIN

I’m going up to Ashford on that crappy diesel train

Clutching my ticket on the platform in the rain

Don’t know if I’ll get there or if I’ll be back again

But I’m going up to Ashford on that crappy diesel train

The shelter smells of things, I’d rather not describe

No-one wants to sit there, they all just stand outside

Beer cans on the floor, graffiti on the walls

Things about sex and football; its all a load of balls

The timetable is faded, the writings all gone pale

Its not just bloody Grimm; it’s a bleeding fairy tale

Out there on the rails something evil lurks

To think that just one leaf can screw up all the works

That just one piece of rotting biology

Can upset the running of this high technology

Somewhere outside Doleham this loco’s motion is over

They’re sending in an expert; he’s cycling down from Dover

The evening’s closing in now, the light is fading fast

The point of no return, has now long since been passed

The ticket office’s closed; the staff have disappeared

Taken the money and ran; its just as I had feared

I lay myself across the track, in desperation and in rage

It doesn’t count as suicide; I’ll just die of old age!

I’m going up to Ashford on that crappy diesel train

Clutching my ticket on the platform in the rain

Don’t know if I’ll get there or if I’ll be back again

I’m going up to Ashford on that crappy, dusty, dirty,

smelly almost downright evil…. diesel train
