He walks like a prefect I bet all his clothes were made in Thailand Don't like the look of him at all I'm on this train again Sick and tired of these dumb procedures Don't like his watch; don't want to know him And I ain't gonna wash And I ain't gonna dream And I ain't gonna talk And I ain't gonna scheme And I ain't going to do a single thing Gonna be the man who sat down And I ain't gonna wash And I ain't gonna shower Just sit here waiting for terminal hour And I ain't going to do a single thing Gonna be the man who sat down He's got a notebook There's snow on the ground And there's bacon in my lunch They always say that trouble comes in threes And my friends say that I sulk 'coz I'm a drunk And I know all these pa**engers agree But I don't want the sea And I don't want the beach And everything I do what is out of reach And I ain't gonna do a single thing Gonna be the man who sat down And I ain't gonna laugh And I ain't gonna play I wish I could be a thousand miles away And the words are all my business Gonna be the man who sat down I dreamed I saw my neighbours jumping from a thirteen story window But in the station there they were The disappointment turns me 'round, of course But I can live with all those things The train can do the moving I'm not gonna stir And I ain't gonna wash And I ain't gonna dream And I ain't gonna jump And I ain't gonna scream And I ain't gonna move again Gonna be the man who sat down And I ain't gonna read And I ain't gonna smoke And I refuse point-blank to understand your jokes So I ain't gonna move again I've seen the writing on the engine and it says: The name of this train is the Nothing Special The name of this train is the Nothing Special The name of this train is the Nothing Special That's all it says The name of this train is the Nothing Special It's just an ordinary train A very ordinary train Just like all the others; just a very ordinary train
