Firstly, great song, one of my favorite Faithless tracks of them all. I have heard it more times than I can ever count. Almost all of the lyrics make obvious sense, until we get down to the last few lines:
"Probably form a team with his friends [and] go steam those trains"
I always wondered if Faithless mean a "team" as in a gang/firm/etc. as opposed to a football team. The guy is selling drugs for a living, but once the drugs are all sold he's straight over the rec for a quick kick-around with his mates? Are you imaging him setting up a football team when you hear that line? The lyrics above miss out the "and" but it is there. Therefore I'm trying to use the one part as context for the other.
Lastly "go steam those trains", can that really be the correct lyrics? Maybe where you grew up that is the name for jumping the turnstile/sneaking onto the train without paying?
I originally thought that line was "probably form a team with his friends and go steal those trainers" meaning a shop lifting crew but after seeing the lyrics written down I assume that "steaming trains" means graffiti" as in a tagging crew!! who knows!!! : )
