歌曲歌詞
Yesterday’s coal train came to rest in the bitter
Cutting
And as the signals took an age to change it
Was
Easy pickings
So you go to the movies where they smash it
Up
You want to feel your heart pumping it makes
You feel good
All through the karaoke girls were squealing
The hits wali
As another Mercedes benz gets blown to bits
While all the time in the camp town theaters
Of piccadilly
They’re going to throw a black face minstrel
Show for the barefoot children
They’re always selling
They’ll say it’s quaint as the guilty ones faint
And claim they ain’t underneath this paint
Interrupt these liberal saints with their
Whips and watermelon
Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery
It’s like another world or it had better be
So we return to whitewashed pout of his
Committed lips
Since he was declared the long lost fountain
Of youth that drips and drips and drips
They’ll be sending him round from door to door
To sell you back what’s already yours
So many good deeds so little time
Say the advertising agency swine
When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns
I hope no living thing cries over his bones
If you don’t believe that I’m going for good
You can count the days I’m gone and chop up
The chairs for firewood
Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery
It’s like another world or it had better be
Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery
It’s like another world or it had better be
Reports
Reports
Reports
Reports
