The Pogues - Boat Train lyrics

I met with Napper Tandy and I shook him by the hand He said hold me up for chrissake, for i can hardly stand the most disgraceful journey on which i've ever been the last time that i traveled on the boat train i had a couple of drinks in town, a few more in the port i puked up on the gangway but some kind folks helped me board they sat me at a table, poured whiskey down my throat sat me at a table and i lost my watch and coat First we drank some whiskey then we had some gin then we had tequila i think that's what did me in then we had some brandy and the women had a dance the steward then announced that we could play the game of chance we crowded round the table with our money in our hands i landed on the other side without a penny in my pants woke up in the toilet when we got to holyhead the doors were all a-banging and i wished that i was dead then we went through customs a couple of credited thugs first they looked for bombs and guns then they looked for d** stuck a flashlight up my a** told some Irish jokes said "f** off now paddy" so i headed for the smoke on the boat train we got on board the train and then we had a drink or two started playing poker but the booze ran out at crewe some people started sleeping, others looked for duty free some ba*tard started singing "little cottage by the lee" he then sang "paper roses," "boolavogue," "eileen aru" somebody started slagging off the Pakis and the Jews found a bottle of whiskey found a bottle of gin i sat down in the corner and i read the daily news first i drank the whiskey then i drank the gin i tried to make the toilet but i broke my f**ing shin the next thing that i knew i was in london in the rain staggering up the platform on the boat train
