Beside the Railway Tracks Songtext
von The Divine Comedy

I live beside the railway tracks
I can′t abide human contact
I watch the trains go back and forth
From north to south, from south to north

Sometimes I catch a fleeting glimpse
A grey moustache, a pale blue rinse
A laughing child, a lovers' kiss
I turn my eyes away from this


I like to watch the usual things
They bring me joys things
To mount of peace and picture frame
I′ll finish these and start again

I live beside the railway tracks
I can't abide human contact
I watch the trains go back and forth
From north to south, from south to north

Sometimes I catch a fleeting glimpse
A grey moustache, a pale blue rinse
A laughing child, a lovers' kiss
I turn my eyes away from this
