Artist/Band: Waterboys
Lyrics for Song: Some of my best friends are trains
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Waterboys



Flashman's in the belfry shouting as loud as he can

Samson's up all night again talking about himself

What a wonderful man

and I'm just wild about Ronnie

And Ronnie's just wild about me

I saw him selling winter coats on the Portobello Road

I thought I bet he wishes he was really working for the NME



When the gang came down here again

and they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

some of my best friends are trains



Now Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac books

and Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much but he does look

He goes up to the playfair

he goes down with the stars

He goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car

and he calls me from Chelsea and he says it's such a thrill

And though I don't believe a word but he keeps me talking



Til the gang come down here again

and they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

some of my best friends are trains



And did you ever have

one of those days

Where the world's wide open

and you can do anything

And you can go anywhere

and you don't have to think

About who you'll offend

every time that you even blink

I'm going to the station where a big red train

is waiting to take me to the country again

Then you'll come from Yonkers but why should I care

it'll rain and rain for days and days and you know I won't be there



When the gang come down here again

and they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

some of my best friends



Yeah the gang come down here again

and they're calling up Australia and they're scaring all my friends

And they all just wanna look like Hell and Verlaine

some of my best friends are trains
