This Train

from Destroy All Conifers by Quintessence

/

about

This song was recorded using Sonar DAW software with a drum machine providing the necessary ‘thump-hiss’ of a steam train.

This Train was the main single released from Destroy All Conifers and was left in various bushes and sellotaped to lamp posts in Aberystwyth.

lyrics

I’ve been waiting too long
For some forgotten song
To come back and catch my eye
And jump on that big old ride
I don’t know what I’m saying
Everything’s gone wrong
Their saying: get a job, get a new friend, get a new car.
Get a new car

You see I went on this train
It was a bit of a pain
You see

Drifting by the lines
Of the countryside
Shutting down into my book
Where nobody looks
Don’t stare at me
I won’t stare at you
We’ll make a pact
Just you and me
Just for two
Just for two

You see I went on this train
It was a bit of a pain
You see

I’m gonna travel proud
From the north to the south
With my guitar in hand
We’ll rock the land
Where’s my ticket?
Where’s my band?
Where’s my drummer?
Where’d I get all this sand?
All This sand

You see I went on this train
It was a bit of a pain
For me

I went on this train
With you
