Here I am at the end of the day 

with a cup of cold coffee 

from the station buffet. 

On trains, on trains I seem 

to spend my life on trains. 



See the blue suit banker in the ticket line. 

Got an Evening Standard with Playboy 

hidden behind. 

On trains, on trains he seems 

to spend his life on trains. 



Time after time. 

Was I just dreaming? 

Did I help you aboard? 

Full passenger service --- 

let me help with the door. 

Sit down take the weight off your feet. 

There's a train full of people I'd like 

you to meet. 

On trains, on trains we love 

to spend our lives on trains. 



Join the secret world of trains. 

Feel the pleasure. Touch the pain. 

Drift into yesterday. 



Once and again 

I was just thinking. 

We could meet sometime 

on the 17.30 where 

I usually find 

my friends at the end of the day. 

May we pay your fare, lady? 

We should like you to stay 

in our train. On trains --- 

you'll have to spend your life 

on trains. 



I hear there's an office party on the 18.05. 

You'll be home for Christmas if they 

take you alive from the train. 

Those trains, we have to spend our lives 

on trains. 



Once and again 

I was just thinking. 

We could meet any time 

on number two platform 

where I usually find 

my friends at the end of the day. 

On trains, trains, trains.
