Hmmm... nice phrase... With a nod to Crowded House :-) Four seasons of delays Trapped inside the depths of your depressing station Lord alone knows when we'll go Sunshine's good but black clouds always seem to slow your trains Even when the weather's warm The signal-boxes go astray Just like four seasons of delays Smiling as the trains run now - You can hear what the announcements have to say! Wait a bit - it's turning 'round Engine failure strikes again... again... You can take me where you will Just so I'm not standing still Like I've been doing ev'ry day Like there's four seasons of delays... Rust binds up Your trains Your trains My life sucks 'Cos there's four seasons of delays [instrumental] Doesn't pay to make a journey - Sleepers on a leaf-laid bed Sliding out of kilter and derailing your old trains Ev'ry Bank Holiday So there's four seasons of delays Sorry, but you set me off ;-) AfPhantom
