Fifteen Guinea Special
Gregory was a fireman
He lit a fire a week ago
The last train of the summer
There'll be no trains in the snow
Twenty years at a trade
The knacks notched on the skull
Sailors on a sea of land
Rattling rails out under the gulls
Take the Fifteen Guinea Special out of town
It's the last time it's coming round
With its green steel skin and its smoker's breath
If it ran you down it'd be a glorious death
Steam rising up under the rain
Carriages all filled with frames
Moving from subject to subject
Stars and silos and lanes
The steely ship sailed years ago
It means absolutely nothing to me
It's more Churchill's train but I think of it
Each time they cut down a tree
Take the Fifteen Guinea Special out of town
It's the last time it's coming round
With its green steel skin and its smoker's breath
If it ran you down it'd be a glorious death
He lit a fire a week ago
The last train of the summer
There'll be no trains in the snow
Twenty years at a trade
The knacks notched on the skull
Sailors on a sea of land
Rattling rails out under the gulls
Take the Fifteen Guinea Special out of town
It's the last time it's coming round
With its green steel skin and its smoker's breath
If it ran you down it'd be a glorious death
Steam rising up under the rain
Carriages all filled with frames
Moving from subject to subject
Stars and silos and lanes
The steely ship sailed years ago
It means absolutely nothing to me
It's more Churchill's train but I think of it
Each time they cut down a tree
Take the Fifteen Guinea Special out of town
It's the last time it's coming round
With its green steel skin and its smoker's breath
If it ran you down it'd be a glorious death
