Kevin Ayers - Stop This Train lyrics

On a railway train to anywhere Something happened finally The driver said he saw no station And we were riding aimlessly The train was filled with sleeping pa**engers Going nowhere for the ride; Spoken whispers filled the carriages No one cared to look outside Conversation aimed at anyone Bouncing questions off the wall; Except for two excited children Burning caterpillars in the hall All at once, I got quite frightened.. Standing up, I gave a shout! "i see a station just in front of me Stop this train and let me out! " The driver smiled and shook his head for me "this train don't stop for anyone And, if you want to leave this railway line You'll have to jump off on your own Someone came and gave me sandwiches Saying that I looked unwell He took my pulse and he gave it back to me And then he hit me with his bell He made a speech to all the pa**engers He said "i've been a place today; And anyone who'd care to come with me.. Step outside and walk this way. " Inside the seats were warm and comfortable Outside the train was wild and strange I said, "yes, sir, I'd like to come with you It's really time I made a change. " I left my seat and walked up front with him And he began to push the door I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me.. I'd never seen such light before
