Elvis Costello - Coal Train Robberies (demo) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter cutting
  • And as the signals took an age to change it was easy pickings
  • So you go to the movies where they smash it up
  • You want to feel your heart pumping it makes you feel good
  • All through the karaoke girls were squealing the hits
  • As another mercedes-benz gets blown to bits
  • While all the time in the camptown theatres of piccadilly
  • They're going to throw a black-face minstrel show for the barefoot children
  • That they're always selling
  • They'll say "it's quaint" as the guilty ones faint and claim they ain't underneath this paint
  • We interrupt these liberal saints with their whips and watermelon
  • Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
  • It's like another world, or it had better be
  • So we return to whitewashed pout of his committed lips
  • Since he was declared the long lost fountain
  • Of youth that drips and drips and drips
  • They'll be sending him round from door to door,
  • To sell you back what's already yours
  • "so many good deeds, so little time"
  • Say the advertising agency swine
  • When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns
  • I hope no living thing cries over his bones
  • If you don't believe that i'm going for good
  • You can count the days i'm gone and chop up
  • The chairs for firewood
  • Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
  • It's like another world, or it had better be
