A Train Roars Lyrics
Outside a Train roars, the clatter is deafening
Louder than everything, drowns what you were saying
And the Boys get on the back of that train
Their clamour is deafening, It is louder than everything
And they accept no warning
And me in my brilliant red shirt
And my shirt hangs open at the neck
The Train is always passing through
Male passengers turn their heads, following the passage
of a beautiful Ducchess running from carriage to carriage
And it ploughs through the city, and everyone rides the Train
It ploughs a primal instinct to rail against better sense
The Train is always passing through
And me in my bloodstained shirt, my body hangs open at the neck
It is always passing through, through me
The bodies on the back of the train they stink of greedy sex
Leave a trail of instinct and roses and things
Louder than everything, drowns what you were saying
And the Boys get on the back of that train
Their clamour is deafening, It is louder than everything
And they accept no warning
And me in my brilliant red shirt
And my shirt hangs open at the neck
The Train is always passing through
Male passengers turn their heads, following the passage
of a beautiful Ducchess running from carriage to carriage
And it ploughs through the city, and everyone rides the Train
It ploughs a primal instinct to rail against better sense
The Train is always passing through
And me in my bloodstained shirt, my body hangs open at the neck
It is always passing through, through me
The bodies on the back of the train they stink of greedy sex
Leave a trail of instinct and roses and things

This song leads on from "Excellent Choice", I think, but it seems to be about Morgan again, and how he died, specifically how the train cut him as he lay on the tracks.
"The Train is always passing through And me in my bloodstained shirt, my body hangs open at the neck"
Quite an icky thought. Favourite song off the album by far.
I've never thought about this carrying on from excellent choice, but I agree with that ^^^
this isnt my favourite song from them but i agree with the excellent choice thought
The fact that it continues from Excellent choice is very plausible. And clever. And amusing to think about.
I never thought about that! But now you mention it i think it does carry on from Excellent choice as it talks about the train and how his necks hangs open, like he's died from the train, maybe a ghost? I love this song!
