Trains by Ian Anderson Lyrics

Here I am at the end of the day
With a cup of cold coffee
From the station buffet
On trains, on trains I seem
To spend my life on trains

See the blue suit banker in the ticket line
Got an evening standard with playboy
Hidden behind
On trains, on trains he seems
To spend his life on trains

Time after time
Was I just dreaming?
Did I help you aboard?
Full passenger service ---
Let me help with the door
Sit down take the weight off your feet
There's a train full of people I'd like
You to meet
On trains, on trains we love
To spend our lives on trains
Join the secret world of trains
Feel the pleasure. touch the pain
Drift into yesterday

Once and again
I was just thinking
We could meet sometime
On the 17.30 where
I usually find
My friends at the end of the day
May we pay your fare, lady?
We should like you to stay
In our train. on trains ---
You'll have to spend your life
On trains

I hear there's an office party on the 18.05
You'll be home for christmas if they
Take you alive from the train
Those trains, we have to spend our lives
On trains

Once and again
I was just thinking
We could meet any time
On number two platform
Where I usually find
My friends at the end of the day
On trains, trains, trains
