The Day We Caught The Train Lyrics
I never saw it as the start, its more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away
Step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
And you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back and you know I feel no sorrow
When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these
When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these
Like these

well to be honest, this is a really simple song meaning there singing about the scene in 'Quadrophenia' where Jimmy is taking the train back down to Brighton! I can't believe no-one has recognised this significant film scene! Quadrophenia is a cult classic and is my favourite film ever. I am 16 years old and it was obvious to me ( :
This song is most definately about the character 'Jimmy' in the superb film 'Quadropehenia' Especially relating to the part of the film where he loses it and heads off on the train to Brighton Ocean Colour Scene's music and style are obviously influenecd by the 'Mod' era any true fan would realise this.

I remember when i was a kid i thought it was'oh oh light a lght..' lol! This is a great song, pretty sure its just about f**kin round woth ur mates when ur young, possibly a 'lad's holiday', still its one of those that u cant help sing along to, why are oasis widely considered to be the best band of the nineties when they cant come close to the musicality, songwriting or range of OCS? Wicked song!
Oh my god.........cant beleive no one has commented on this, its one of my favorite ocs songs!!! not sure about the meaning of it?!?! could be about a love that he's lost and he wants it all back?!??! ne ideas?!?!
A brilliant song. Reminds me of when I was a kid.
anthem. Amazing song to sing along to at a festival...ooh ooh la la ooh ooh la la...
I love this song, it's the pinacle of those days back in the mid-90s, sun shinning, happy smiles, singing along.
damn right. makes it seem sunny outside, even when its raining.
I love the 'when you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these'? A song to get you through the rough times...
i'm not very good at interpretating songs but i cant help thinking it's about mods and Quadrophenia and stuff! "Jimmy heard the day we caught the train" i dunno but top tune anyway!
This song is about being young and living the life of Riley!
Excellent song reminds me of being young and carefree!
