The Day We Caught the Train

Lyrics

[Intro] I never saw it as the start, it's more a change of heart Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock [Pre-Chorus] Stepping through the door like a troubadour, whiling just an hour away Looking at the trees on the roadside, feeling it's a holiday [Chorus] You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train [Post-Chorus] Oh lala, oh lala Oh lala, oh lala [Verse] He sips another rum and coke and told a dirty joke Walking like Groucho, sucking on a number 10 Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in I'll miss the crush and I'm home again [Pre-Chorus 2] Stepping through the door with the night in store, whiling just an hour away Step into the sky in the starbright, feeling it's a brighter day [Chorus] You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away Roll a number, write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train [Post-Chorus] Oh lala, oh lala Oh lala, oh lala [Bridge] You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow And you and I, when we're coming down, we're only getting back And you know I feel no sorrow We've got the whole wide world [Post-Chorus] Oh lala, oh lala Oh lala, oh lala [Outro] When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these When you find that things are getting wild, don't you need days like these When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these Ooh lala, ooh lala
