The Last Train To You

歌詞

[INTRO – 4 BARS. BRIGHT ELECTRIC GUITAR RIFF, PUNCHY DRUMS, DRIVING BASS] Last train... Last train to you! [VERSE 1 – YOUTHFUL, SLIGHTLY RASPY BRITISH MALE VOCAL. PLAYFUL, RHYTHMIC DELIVERY] I said I'd leave at seven You said, "I'll see you at nine" At twenty past eleven I was running out of time The bus was stuck in traffic So I got out and ran Past the shuttered off-licence With my ticket in my hand [PRE-CHORUS – RISING GUITARS, SNARE BUILD] The guard was on the platform With his whistle to his lips I shouted, "Hang on, mate!" And he gave me thirty seconds! [CHORUS – BIG MELODIC HOOK, BRIGHT GUITARS, DOUBLE-TRACKED MALE VOCALS] Last train to you! I ran for it, I ran With my coat across my shoulder And my ticket in my hand Last train to you! I know I was late but at least I was coming Last train to you! I made it in the end! [INSTRUMENTAL – 8 BARS. CATCHY GUITAR RIFF, BOUNCY BASS] [VERSE 2 – CONVERSATIONAL, SLIGHTLY AMUSED VOCAL] A bloke with a crossword Had his briefcase on the seat He moved it without asking When he saw the state of me I counted every station Rehearsed what I would say I'd blame it on the traffic But you wouldn't buy that anyway [CHORUS – FULL BAND, STRONG BACKING HARMONIES] Last train to you! I ran for it, I ran With my coat across my shoulder And my ticket in my hand Last train to you! I know I was late but at least I was coming Last train to you! I made it in the end! [GUITAR SOLO – 16 BARS. MELODIC OVERDRIVEN LEAD, DRIVING RHYTHM SECTION] [BRIDGE – HALF-TIME DRUMS, DRY VOCAL, GUITARS PULL BACK] You were waiting by the railings Not impressed and not surprised You said, "There's no prize for turning up" I said, "No, but I did try" You said, "Next time leave on time then" I said, "Here we go again!" [DRUM FILL – FULL BAND RETURNS] [FINAL CHORUS – BIGGER HARMONIES, GUITAR FILLS] Last train to you! I ran for it, I ran With my coat across my shoulder And my ticket in my hand Last train to you! I know I was late but at least I was coming Last train to you! I made it in the end! [OUTRO – REPEATING GUITAR RIFF, PLAYFUL VOCAL] Last train to you! Last train to you! You said, "Next time, be early!" I'll see what I can do! [FINAL GUITAR CHORD – HARD STOP]
