Template:Coal-Train Robberies (demo)

Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter cutting

And while 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 me feel good

All through the karaoke, they were screaming the hits

While another Mercedes-Benz gets blown to bits

Outside a khaki-covered river oozes by

And still they say that there’s a big important world out there to try

"What’s yours is yours, what’s yours is mine," so say those City of London swine

"So let’s steal something that’s really worth it"

Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery

It’s like another world, or it had better be

Come down the banks where you used to court, your heart pumping

You know where she kissed you as the sweating trains pulled in

A scrap of grime for a glimmer of heat beneath the rails between your feet

You used to pick rags from the workhouse floor

You don’t want much, you just want more

You waited fifteen years for the whistle to blow

When they say "work," when they say "no"

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
