|
There was the stage, two red lights and a dodgy P.A. |
|
You trod the planks way back then |
|
And it's strange that you're here again, here again |
|
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words |
|
To make you feel better, walk out of this place |
|
Defeat them in your secret battle |
|
Show them you can be your own man again |
|
Don't, don't explain |
|
Lots of little victories take on the pain |
|
It takes so long to earn |
|
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn |
|
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words |
|
To make you feel better, walk out of this place |
|
Defeat them in your secret battle |
|
Show them you can be your own man again |
|
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words |
|
To blow up the pokies and drag them away |
|
'Cause they're taking the food off your table |
|
So they can say that the trains run on time |
|
Flashing lights, it's a real show |
|
And your wife? I wouldn't go home |
|
The little bundles need care |
|
And you can't be a father there, father there |
|
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words |
|
To make you feel better, walk out of this place |
|
Defeat them in your secret battle |
|
Show them you can be your own man again |
|
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words |
|
To blow up the pokies and drag them away |
|
'Cause they're taking the food off your table |
|
So they can say that the trains run on time |
|
Another man there was made the trains run on time |
