    peace train - cat stevens
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Nine While nine - The sisters of mercy
    Train - The sisters of mercy
    The Train song - Nick cave


    Excuse Me - Wreckless Eric

    Excuse me staring - we catch the same train
    We've never spoken I wonder if we may
    From Wandsworth Town on the Waterloo line
    Via Clapham Junction on the eight fifty-nine

    May I tell you that I think you're lovely
    Purchasing your ticket as I stare discreetly by the barrier

    Where do you work
    What do you do there
    What's your name
    We're in Waterloo now
    Where you march up the platform
    In military style
    In the rhythm that the train made
    My heavenly choir

    I Will tell you that I think you're lovely
    Surrendering your ticket as I say so long at the exit sign

    Sorrowful parting
    You take the Bakerloo southbound
    My trip on the northbound
    Is something of a comedown
    Sweet girl on the train
    Do you fancy me
    If you like me
    You can commute with me

    I had a job, I had a girl
    I had something going mister in this world
    I got laid off down at the lumber yard
    Our love went bad, times got hard
    Now I work down at the carwash
    Where all it ever does is rain
    Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

    She just said "Joe I gotta go
    We had it once we ain't got it any more"
    She packed her bags left me behind
    She bought a ticket on the Central Line
    Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
    I feel her kiss in the misty rain
    And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

    Last night I heard your voice
    You were crying, crying, you were so alone
    You said your love had never died
    You were waiting for me at home
    Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
    I ran till I thought my chest would explode
    There in the clearing, beyond the highway
    In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
    I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
    My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
    The room was dark, our bed was empty
    Then I heard that long whistle whine
    And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

    Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
    Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
    Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Life's Railway to Heaven - sung by Ms Patsy Cline. :)

    Life is like a mountain railroad
    With an engineer that's brave
    We must make the run successful
    From the cradle to the grave

    Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels
    Never falter, never fail
    Keep your hand upon the throttle
    And your eyes upon the rail

    Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In that Great forevermore

    Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In that Great forevermore

    Yeah, I know it's corny and way more "hallelujah lordy" than I usually go for, but it's a beautiful song, beautifully sung, and I just love it. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Play a Train Song - Todd Snider

    Smokin long black Cadillac, the engine's windin down
    He'd park it up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town
    I'd here him talkin to some chick through a thick ghost of smoke
    Through a thicker haze of southern comfort and coke
    He'd say girl you're hotter than the hinges hangin off the gates of hell
    Don't be afraid, to turn to me, babe if a he don't treat you well
    And by he, he meant me so I laughed and I shook his hand
    He'd laugh a little bit louder as he'd yell up at the band

    Play a train song pour me one more round
    Make 'em leave my boots when they lay me into the ground
    I am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mind
    And I'm a looking for any kind of trouble that I can find

    I got this old black leather jacket, I got this pack of Marlboro Reds
    I got this stash here in my pocket, I got these thoughts in my own head
    I got to run until I got to walk or until I've got to crawl
    This moment that I'm in right now and nothin else at all

    Play a train song pour me one more round
    Make 'em leave my boots when they lay me into the ground
    I am a runaway locomotive out of my one track mind

    And the television blizzard lights we looked around his place
    We found him cold there on the sofa a little smile across his face
    And though I tried with all of my sadness somehow, I just a could not weep
    For a man who looked to me like he died laughin in his sleep

    Singin a train song, drinkin him one last round
    We made em leave his boots on, on the day they laid him down
    He was a runaway locomotive out of his one track mind
    Play a train song
    Play a train song
    Play a train song

    That gets my vote, along with Train in Vain.

    Only yesterday, you lied
    Promises of what I seemed to be
    Only watched the time go by
    All of these things you said to me"
