Electric Trains

I was called a mummy's boy

by friends I didn't like

I made a meal of trips to school

upon my father's bike

I used to sit between his legs

perched on a piece of wood

and if it ever rained on us

I'd slip beneath his hood



and at home, the radio was on...



from Julie Andrews

(out of my head)

to Jerry Garcia

(Grateful Dead)

life was all fun and games

(fun and games)

(out of my head)

I was out of my head

(under the bed)

underneath my bed

(Greatful Dead)

playing with electric trains

(electric trains)



at home the stereo was on

my head was filled with rock

I made a willow cricket bat guitar

and solo'd round the clock

my records stacked up in a pile

collected from the charts

and Top of The Pops...



From Julie Andrews

(out of my head)

to Jerry Garcia

(Grateful Dead)

life was all fun and games

(fun and games)

(out of my head)

I was out of my head

(under the bed)

underneath my bed

(Greatful Dead)

playing with electric trains

(electric trains)



Kneeling with torchlight

shining before me

in bed with my eyeballs

stuck in readers' wives

pubic hairs proudly counted every day

many took a story out into the Milky Way



I chased the girls and made them cry

my hair grew down my back

the passing of my teenage years

were spent down in the sack

I played guitar and formed a band

I puked up all night long

as people came to sit and stare

while I raced through my songs



the Sound of Music passed me by

just like the Greatful Dead...



from Julie Andrews

(out of my head)

to Jerry Garcia

(Grateful Dead)

life was all fun and games

(fun and games)

(out of my head)

I was out of my head

(under the bed)

underneath my bed

(Greatful Dead)

playing with electric trains

(electric trains)



electric trains...



(out of my head)

(under the bed)

(Greatful Dead)

(out of my head)

(under the bed)

(Grateful Dead)

(out of my head)
