lyrics

Hey, you're never one to be waiting
running for the 8am right now
Again, you're locked up with the same faces
who think they're going places you've not found

Life on a train with the crowd
Life on a train ,nowhere bound
travelling for the lonely
Feeling the days going by
slaving away till you die
Where's the good life they promised you would find ?

How did you end up what you hated
when you were young & blazing in your dream ?
Caught a train out early one morning
now 20 years have gone, where have you been ?

Life on a train with the crowd
Life on a train ,nowhere bound
travelling for the lonely
Feeling the days going by
slaving away till you die
Where's the good life they promised you would find ?

Looking forward you can't disguise
you know Lucy Jordan's eyes
Just before she flies
You'll have to lose all you fought to win
Find the fire you once lived in
Let it rise again
or it could be the end....

Life on a train with the crowd
Life on a train ,nowhere bound
travelling for the lonely
Feeling the days going by
slaving away till you die
Where's the good life they promised you would find ?

Looking forward you can't disguise
you know Lucy Jordan's eyes
Just before she flies
You'll have to lose all you fought to win
Find the fire you once lived in
Let it rise again
or it could be the end....

Lines / How Can It Be
by De La Matyr

Very classy classic pop/rock in the vein of Big Star n 70s FM radio..Excellent, naturally soulful melodic songwriting..Brimful of happy/sad ,resonant hooks..Both tracks here are very cool indeed Steve Ison
