Railway Hotel Lyrics - Singles - Mike Batt

We went to the room and we bolted the door 

The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor 

And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains 

Was this all the comfort we got for our sins 

No Candles, no waiters, no soft violins 

A dirty electric convector plugged into the mains 

I had wanted much more for the first night with you 

But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do 

I knew the Savoy would have suited you well 

But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel 

Away in the sky were the lights of a jet 

Burning the night like a slow cigarette 

A lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall 

And though it was crumbling and run down and dead 

A chair and a sink and an old single bed 

The love we began and the things that we said I recall
