Stranglers, The - Ghost Train Lyrics






Taking a ride on the ghost train
Looking around at everyone
Taking a ride on the ghost train
Don't you know everyone

Wondering where they'll be taking the fare
Card sharping shooting one another for a comfortable chair

The passengers sit on the ghost train
On the ghost train, wondering when they'll arrive
The faces don't fit on the ghost train
On the ghost train, wondering if they will arrive

The driver is blind when there's snow on the line
He gets hard of hearing in the cabin when the weather is fine

Taking a ride on the ghost train

It's been a long long ride on the ghost train
It's been a long long ride on the ghost train
Long ride on the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train
Is there a man alive the ghost train
Who's qualified to drive the ghost train
Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

Claiming your seat on the ghost train
On the ghost train it don't come everyday
Claiming your seat on the ghost train
On the ghost train this train's speeding up as it enters the fray
There's only one class, the first and the last
The ghost train's picking up speed now it's travelling fast

Taking a ride on the ghost train

It's been a long long ride on the ghost train
It's been a long long ride on the ghost train
Long ride on the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train
Is there a man alive the ghost train
Who's qualified to drive the ghost train
Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train
Is there a man alive the ghost train
Who's qualified to drive the ghost train
Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train
Is there a man alive the ghost train
Who's qualified to drive the ghost train
Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

    Thank you Kraftwerk , TransEuro Express . Impressive vocal performance from Hugh.

    I love it when he sings "There's only one class, the first and the last" Such a seductive voice

  3. F.... J....

    Great tune

  4. P.... D....

    I don't get this video. This song is about Hugh Cornwell's contemplation about leaving the Stranglers.

  5. B.... 5....

    I am not a huge music video fan but I would have to say this is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I heard this song on the radio last night and had to check this out. Well done!

    Well done, indeed, smokehogg! Thank you for your effort.
    And yes, I agree with MoveOverCasanova - every song on Dreamtime is a masterpiece!

  10. M.... ....

    Who made this? It's brilliant!! ♫ You are allowed to drive!!

  11. G.... R....

    A lot of people moane about this song but if U2 or cold play did it then they would say it was a work of a genius.

  12. M.... ....

    - it is so sad that the stranglers fell into the time of the shittiest sounding equipment ever, lousy edrums, campy digital synth sounds sounding like schlager festival etc -- but musically they were in high spheres...every song on dreamtime is a little masterpiece

  13. J.... B....

    This ain't one of my Favourites !!! ...... something better change !!!

  14. F.... a....

    smokehogg your a genius.
    Any chance you could upload the part where Mr Porter wakes up Albert with the clock, its one of the greatest things i've ever seen.

  19. F.... ....

    All I can add is the windbag the sailor Cocoa Gag.....

    Why has the BBC/ITV stopped showing his films...? I believe the copyright has run out on them now??

  20. s.... ....

    Brilliant. I remember watching these as a kid on TV. The old man sidekick was Moore Marriot who had a funny voice who talked in short abrupt burst and the portly young lad was Graham Moffatt. I love the inter phasing. My dad introduced me to this stuff. Well done Smokehogg.

  21. F.... ....

    wow..... Big Big Will Hay Fan and Even BIGGER Stranglers Fan; I want to hire an old cinema for my 40th and show this film..... Before his time, and many imitations; reeves, morcambe, walliams, even Mr Mannering
