Playing With Electric Trains Songtext

Playing With Electric Trains Songtext
When I was crowned a mummy′s boy
By friends I didn't like
I made a meal of trips to school
Upon my father′s bike
And I used to sit between his legs
Perched on a piece of wood
And if it ever rained on us
I'd slip beneath his hood
At home the radio was on
It wallpapered all those years
The world was such a simple place
With music to my ears
From Julie Andrews to Cherry Garcia
Life was all fun and games
I was out of my head
And underneath my bed
Playing with electric trains
I met my friends at Sunday school
And playing on a field
Inside my bedroom there I found
The future was concealed
My records stacked up in a pile
Collected from the charts
With pictures pinned upon the wall
I found my beating heart
At home the stereo was on
My feet stomped on the floor
A Fender Willow cricket bat
Had left me wanting more
From Julie Andrews to Cherry Garcia
Life was all fun and games
I was out of my head
And underneath my bed
Playing with electric trains
Kneeling with my torchlight
Turning my transformer
Sleeping with my wet dreams
With my eyeballs stuck in readers white
(Eyeballs stuck in readers white)
Pubic hairs were proudly
Counted every day I woke
Manhood took me slowly
Down and down and down and down and down
I chased the girls and made them cry
My hair grew down my back
The contents of my teenage years
Were spent down in the sack
And I played guitar and formed a band
I puked up all night long
As people came to sit and stare
While I raced through my song
At home there was sadly nothing on
My childhood had to end
The sound of music passed me by
Just like the Grateful Dead
From Julie Andrews to Cherry Garcia
Life was all fun and games
I was out of my head
And underneath my bed
Playing with electric trains
From Julie Andrews to Cherry Garcia
Climbing in that photograph
I can touch my stupid face
I chose the road to here and now
In this very special place
Where all I am is all I breathe
It's a sober world I chase
So I can fix these broken trains
Playing with electric trains
By friends I didn't like
I made a meal of trips to school
Upon my father′s bike
And I used to sit between his legs
Perched on a piece of wood
And if it ever rained on us
I'd slip beneath his hood
At home the radio was on
It wallpapered all those years
The world was such a simple place
With music to my ears
From Julie Andrews to Cherry Garcia
Life was all fun and games
I was out of my head
And underneath my bed
Playing with electric trains
I met my friends at Sunday school
And playing on a field
Inside my bedroom there I found
The future was concealed
My records stacked up in a pile
Collected from the charts
With pictures pinned upon the wall
I found my beating heart
At home the stereo was on
My feet stomped on the floor
A Fender Willow cricket bat
Had left me wanting more
From Julie Andrews to Cherry Garcia
Life was all fun and games
I was out of my head
And underneath my bed
Playing with electric trains
Kneeling with my torchlight
Turning my transformer
Sleeping with my wet dreams
With my eyeballs stuck in readers white
(Eyeballs stuck in readers white)

Where all I am is all I breathe
It's a sober world I chase
So I can fix these broken trains
