Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Train Song Lyrics






Tell me how long's the train been gone?
Tell me how long's the train been gone?
And was she there?
And was she there?
Tell me how long's the train been gone?

Tell me how many coaches long?
Tell me how many coaches long?
What did she wear?
And what did she wear?
Tell me how many coaches long?

Tell me when did the whistle blow?
Tell me when did the whistle blow?
And did she tie her hair?
And did she tie her hair?
Tell me when did the whistle blow?

    I locked myself in a room in Clapham for a year and did nothing,” states Cave, who claims he sat and watched five videos a day and ate Indian takeaway every night for a year. “I couldn’t get out of the house. I was a basket case.”
    But not a complete basket case: for during that time, Nick had access to a piano upstairs from his flat at which he would occasionally sit and write. Two numbers Nick drew out of himself during his Clapham lacuna were “The Train Song” and “Sorrow’s Child”; and both tunes ended up being recorded in the course of sessions for what ultimately became Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds sixth album release, The Good Son.

    If you try to imagine the scene... I mean... This is such a clear expression of love for someone, if she left You'll forever remember everything of that moment; what did she wear, how many coachers did the train have and when did she tie her hair. No, this is fantastic.
