Bio
I’ve been writing songs since doing my paper round in the 60s (as a way of easing the monotony). When my son took an interest in music we collaborated on a number of songs, recording about 30 or so in the garden shed and I’ve done several alone. I’m not a competent musician and certainly not a performer but I can play enough to get a song across.
Lyrics
Freight train
From the rail track
There’s a feedback
From the railroad
There’s an off-load
Like the morning’s news
You can feel it through your shoes
It’s like a freight train
It’s like a freight train
From the wire poles
Hear the earth’s soul
Hear the rail track hummin’
There’s a freight train comin’
It can crumble stones
You can feel it in your bones
It’s like a freight train
Like a freight train
Like a freight train
There’s a picture in my head
You’re there in my bed
On your bended knees
You gotta beg me please
I’ll make your skin go cold
So you can feel it in your soul
Like a freight train
Like a freight train
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train still comin’
Like a freight train comin’
From the rail track
There’s a feedback
From the railroad
There’s an off-load
Like the morning’s news
You can feel it through your shoes
It’s like a freight train
It’s like a freight train
From the wire poles
Hear the earth’s soul
Hear the rail track hummin’
There’s a freight train comin’
It can crumble stones
You can feel it in your bones
It’s like a freight train
Like a freight train
Like a freight train
There’s a picture in my head
You’re there in my bed
On your bended knees
You gotta beg me please
I’ll make your skin go cold
So you can feel it in your soul
Like a freight train
Like a freight train
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Still comin’
Like a freight train comin’, still comin’
Like a freight train still comin’
Like a freight train comin’
