Mel and me, the railway children,

Played the disused line

Run through fields we'd kicked our shoes off

Drunk in air like sweet red wine

Together like suede and leather

No more easy come easy go



I remember the coalmine closing

Her father's face was a sight

Bringing up kids on a pittance. Wages?

Nothing's left by Saturday night

Those days will scar forever

No more easy come easy go



Melanie won't run-run-runaway

Melanie can't come she's got to stay

Worth her weight in gold ooh baby

I'm sold on sold on sold on you



Think of all tomorrow's parties

And giving it all away

There's nothing left here but muck-stack-Charlies

Let's make a run for it, what do you say?

You've got to make it happen

No more easy come easy go



Melanie won't run-run-runaway...



You're one in a million

You'll always come first

All the zeroes follow you

Melanie you've got to save yourself

This time take them for granted

No more easy come easy go



Melanie won't run-run-runaway...
