I've been too long travelling on your train.
Verse:
You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain,
You tried to hypnotise me, but I see right through your game,
And now your tatty tricks to me seem really rather tame,
I've been too long travelling on your train.
Chorus:
Amaj7 Bm7/A
City lights don't shine, they glare
Amaj7 Bm7/A
And your music doesn't speak, it swears,
Dm C G
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.
Repeat intro:
Verse:
Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away,
Back to the garden where the magic children play,
And to the country lady who knows more than I can say,
Whose night shines brighter than your day.
Chorus:
City lights don't shine, they glare
And your music doesn't speak, it swears,
And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there.
A... (repeat to fade).
