Here I am at the end of the day

with a cup of cold coffee

from the station buffet.

On trains, on trains I seem

to spend my life on trains.



See the blue suit banker in the ticket line.

Got an Evening Standard with Playboy

hidden behind.

On trains, on trains he seems

to spend his life on trains.



Time after time.

Was I just dreaming?

Did I help you aboard?

Full passenger service ---

let me help with the door.

Sit down take the weight off your feet.

There's a train full of people I'd like

you to meet.

On trains, on trains we love

to spend our lives on trains.



Join the secret world of trains.

Feel the pleasure. Touch the pain.

Drift into yesterday.



Once and again

I was just thinking.

We could meet sometime

on the 17.30 where

I usually find

my friends at the end of the day.

May we pay your fare, lady?

We should like you to stay

in our train. On trains ---

you'll have to spend your life

on trains.



I hear there's an office party on the 18.05.

You'll be home for Christmas if they

take you alive from the train.

Those trains, we have to spend our lives

on trains.



Once and again

I was just thinking.

We could meet any time

on number two platform

where I usually find

my friends at the end of the day.

On trains, trains, trains.
