CHAIN 49
I'm stepping up to the platform new
At the change in the line,
Wondered when my connection was due
So I consulted the sign
It said that it was half past two
And the weather is fine
Keep my eye on the way ahead
Closing in on Chain 49
Straightening the pocket carnation
Hoping that my train is on time
Sitting at the end of the station
Closing in on Chain 49
The Station Master pushed an old mop head
With his thin hands of wire
He splashed it down, looked at me and said
Always aim for the sky
Cos you won't find a grain of truth
In a bucket of lies
Keep my eye on the way ahead
Closing in on Chain 49
Straightening the pocket carnation
Hoping that my train is on time
Sitting at the end of the station
Closing in on Chain 49
I packed my bags, headed up the coast
Left the city behind
Now I write my songs and I sing my poems
Baby that ain't no crime
Y'know you won't find a grain of truth
In a bucket of lies
Keep my eye on the way ahead
Closing in on Chain 49
Straightening the pocket carnation
Hoping that my train is on time
Sitting at the end of the station
Closing in on Chain 49
