Leaving the UK ...

lyrics

This is the last train I know
the last train I know
better get on it
Such a long way to go
a long way to go
better get on it

There’s a girl on the train
she voted Remain
she escaped from the rain
from her face it is plain
she got lucky

Took her bag and her hat
from her Jane Eyre flat
told herself that
she is not coming back
she got lucky

There’s a guy on the train
by the window pane
takes too long to explain
why he left
he got lucky

Years of abuse and a nothing excuse
from a man in a suit who told him
he’d never get lucky

This is the last train I know
the last train I know
You’d better get on it
there’s such a long way to go
we got a long way to go
better get on it

There’s a woman up the back
under the baggage rack
watching the railroad tracks
by the chimney stacks
she got lucky

She had her fill
of playing Jack and Jill
she knows reminiscence kills
by running up the hill
she got lucky

And the city lights
on this lonely night
are replaced by the moon
shining bright
oh yeah

And no believes that it’s easy to speak
you’re a freak if you leave
with your heart on your sleeve
oh yeah

This is the last train I know
the last train I know
better get on it
there’s a long way to go
such a long way to go
you better get on it

There’s a refugee and a family
who were forced to flee by the military
they got lucky
and a mystery cat not a he nor a she
no one can tell them who they had to be
they got lucky

No room for abusers
and cruisers and groomers
domestic abusers
make way for us losers
oh yeah

You better believe that it’s easy to speak
you’re a freak if you leave
with your heart on your sleeve
oh yeah

This is the last train I know
the last train I know
you better get on it
there’s a long way to go
we got a long way to go
you better get on it

It was a long time ago
oh a long time ago
we’d better get on it

This is the last train I know
the last train I know
we’d better get on it

This is the last train
the very last train
hear it coming through the pouring rain
get on it …
